Hi! My name is Ishani B, and I am currently attend a small highschool STEM programme that is a part of the broader local high school. I am well versed in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, and Geometry. Outside of Schoolhouse, I participate in Model UN, NHD, Jazz Band (pianist), and my school newspaper (editor in chief). Through MUN, I have acquired the communication skills required to convey mathematical ideas with my peers. Overall, I am eager to share my understanding of mathematics, and help students thrive in the aforementioned subject areas.
