Hi There,
I'm Jackson
The picture of me in the chair was taken in April 2024 when another student and I travelled to Long Beach, CA to present out research at NCUR, an undergraduate research conference.

Bio
I studied at UW-Stout in their Applied Math and Computer Science program. While I was at Stout, I discovered my passion for mathematics, and, in my sophomore year, I began working as a math tutor. The work was fantastic and I loved helping students reach their full potential and gain confidence in themselves. Seeing them make progress, not just academically, but in their overall mindset towards learning is incredibly rewarding.
Now, that I have graduated from Stout, I seek to continue making a difference for students struggling with math. While I know that I can't make a student as passionate about math as I am, I can make them less anxious and less nervous about their next exam.
