"I have two bachelor’s degrees in Biochemistry and Molecular & Cellular Biology from the University of Arizona, where I’ve developed a strong foundation in the chemical and molecular principles that drive human physiology and medical science. Alongside my scientific studies, I’ve pursued a minor in Classics with a focus on Latin language and translation, which has deepened my appreciation for the linguistic roots of modern medical terminology and scientific vocabulary. This combination of disciplines allows me to explain complex topics in a clear and memorable way. I am currently applying for medical school.

I have several years of experience tutoring peers and underclassmen in subjects ranging from general chemistry and molecular biology to Latin grammar and translation. My approach is highly adaptive: I focus on building conceptual understanding before moving into problem solving, using active recall and spaced repetition to help students retain difficult material. I’ve worked with both high school and college students in one-on-one and small-group settings, tailoring lessons to their learning style and academic goals.

In addition to my academic background, I am an NREMT-certified emergency medical technician. That experience has strengthened my ability to teach anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology from a practical and clinical perspective. My goal as a tutor is to help each student not only master the material but also see how it connects to real-world applications." less...
