Why did you choose your career path? I have loved math since I was 5 years old. When I was in kindergarten, we were supposed to find different ways to add to 6 by coloring in boxes. I jumped ahead and wrote equations, and my teacher said she had never seen a kindergarten student do that in her 25 years of teaching. Around the same age, when I was with my family on long car rides, I would ask my parents to make up math problems for me to solve because that's what I liked to do for fun. I have loved math for as long as I can remember.

What did you want to be when you were a kid? In preschool I would have said a pilot. In elementary school my response was a teacher, and in high school I went back and forth between a dietitian and a chemist.

If you could join a Youth Education class, what would it be? I have done a bit of coding and web development before, and I would like to learn more about that.
