"TA enriched my academic involvement"

“Action speak louder than words”

I love helping, so I love teaching

I love the feeling of solving problems, so I love teaching

I love the sense of satisfaction, so I love teaching

I worked as Teaching Assistant while in my undergrad and grad school. Both of them are impressive and great experiences for working with diverse colleagues and friendly supervisors.

The first one is short but related to data science and statistical inference, which helps reviewing and enhanced knowledge learned earlier

The second is longer. It reinforces my expertises in Python programming and collaborative teamworking skills.
