"I graduated from Brown University with a degree in biology and completed my PhD at Columbia University in Biomedical Engineering. My undergraduate thesis was an in-depth project on cancer immunology. My graduate work was funded by the National Space Technology and Research Fellowship through NASA, and crosses the fields of DNA Nanotechnology and Synthetic Biology. As a NASA intern, iGEM graduate and PhD student, I designed a project to increase the conductivity of DNA for use in nanoelectronic biosynthesis for long-term space missions and under-resourced community laboratories. As a NASA fellow, I have represented my work across the world in Singapore, Denmark and the Continental US, most notably at the United States House of Representatives in the Fall of 2017 as a Space Technology program delegate for NASA.

I am a taekwondo instructor, music teacher, dance instructor, and science tutor; and I have been a lecturer and teaching assistant for four semesters of graduate level courses on Computational Modeling of Human Physiology and Numerical Applied Mathematics. I hope to use the Wyzant platform to help others master the basic sciences and achieve their own career goals. I have studied nine languages, earned two black belts, and used math as a basis for paper-based 3D art. Science is ultimately an art--a language--and through a careful but creative teaching style, I hope to translate and animate learning material to be engaging and easy for my students.

I'm here to help, and I can't wait to meet you!" less...
