"I am a biology education nerd with a passion for helping students build science understanding, beyond memorization. I hold a bachelor’s degree in biology from Abilene Christian University and a Ph.D. in Biological Education from the University of Northern Colorado. My doctoral research focused on how science is taught and learned, especially in anatomy and physiology (A&P) courses, and that expertise continues to shape my approach to tutoring and instruction across biology and research topics.

I have 7 years of teaching experience at universities and community colleges, and have taught over 1,000 students in college-level courses including Anatomy and Physiology I and II (for nursing and allied health students), Mammalian Physiology (for biology majors), and Introductory Biology. I also have experience tutoring neuroanatomy, research methods/statistics, and academic writing.

Whether you're navigating general biology and A&P course content, preparing for exams, or tackling research projects, I’m here to support you. I offer customized tutoring for:

-General Biology

-Anatomy & Physiology

-Academic and Scientific Writing

-Research Design & Methods (including systematic review, qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods)

During sessions, I help students identify what they already understand and build from there. I use diagrams, models, and evidence-based study strategies to strengthen comprehension and retention. We'll work together through Q&A, applied examples, and frequent checks for understanding.

Wondering if this kind of support is right for you? I offer a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your goals, challenges, and how I can support your learning journey. Together, we’ll create a clear plan for building your skills, understanding, and confidence." less...
