Hi I'm Anthony, or Ant for short. I was never too fond of Tony as a nickname. I have lived in Worcester for all my life and am a commuter. As an aspiring electrical engineer, I hope I can also obtain my electrical license well after graduating. In high school I was planning on being an electrician but my academic success pushed me in other directions. This is my third year of tutoring in the ARC, but I have enjoyed helping others with school work since freshman year. When not in school I enjoy playing football, baseball, and basketball recreationally. Most of all I enjoy hanging out with my friends, even if we just sit around doing nothing.
