It’s most likely in too much direct sunlight

How do I fix it?

Move it to a location that’s indirect sunlight instead of directly in front of a window. If you have a shelf to the side of your window or on an adjacent wall where it’s getting sunlight but it’s not directly beaming onto the plant. You can trim crispy edges because once that part of the leaf is dead it’s not going to turn back to its original condition. However, moving it now will prevent anymore damage
