I've been a competitive chess player for over 10 years, and still continue playing actively to this day. Some of my acccomplishments include winning the 2022 NC State Scholastics, the 2023 NC State Championship, and the 2023 George Washington Open, and participating in the Denker and Barber Tournament of Champions. I achieved National Master in 2022, and reached a peak USCF rating of 2345.
In addition to my playing career, I've been coaching at all types of settings for over 5 years - in private and group lessons, chess camps, and at school chess clubs. I have a great passion for teaching and seeing any chess player put in the work and improve. I create lesson plans each week catered to your needs, and will be available online to chat during your tournaments for opening preparation or just any general advice. Please reach out outside of lesson time!
Currently, I'm a undergraduate student at UNC Chapel Hill, studying Computer Science and Psychology. I'm active at the UNC Chess Club, where we host weekly meetings and partake in various tournaments throughout the school year. If you're in the area, consider stopping by at a club meeting!
