Abigail

Hi, I am Abby! I am originally from Maryland and have lived in NYC for a couple years now! I am currently a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University focusing on pediatric cardiology research. I went to undergrad at the University of South Carolina and while I was there I started a non profit, called HOPE, that 3D prints prosthetic devices for children. Before attending graduate school, I was a long term substitute teacher in Baltimore County High Schools where I taught Physics AP and Math to 9-12th graders. I have been a tutor for about 9 years now and have helped students in math, science, english, and homework help! I have tutored from 1st and up and I have also tutored a student with Autism. In addition to being a PhD student, I am also a dancer. My favorite styles are Musical Theatre and Jazz. While I am not dancing, I love to explore nyc, grab coffee with friends, and go to broadway shows! A little fun fact about me is that I have a twin sister! I love teaching students and creating an environment where they feel they can succeed and understand their course even if it is not their strong suit.
