Hi! I’m Stephanie (she/her), a new peer math tutor at the SLC. I began my Otis journey in fall of 2022 as a Toy Design sophomore, and started at the SLC the following spring. I’m not definitively sure what toy category I aspire to work in, and rather prefer the use of discrete mathematics to avoid making such life-changing decisions. Regardless, I’m is open to fresh experiences and different ideas. As my favorite mathematician David Hilbert asserts, “to new concepts correspond, necessarily, new signs”, and I accordingly choose to interpret challenges as omens of opportunity.
