Summary
I have excelled in my studies of economics and with my work experience in both marketing and chess instruction. I strive to tell stories that matter and help people grow. I have taught chess to hundreds of kids and play at an 1800 level online. I am looking for a new opportunity to learn and keep growing my skills as an educator while continuing to build my own knowledge base.
