"As a graduate student UC Berkeley, I taught several molecular and cell biology courses. My course evaluations were always above the department average, and I received the Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Award for my creative lesson plans and engaging teaching style. I'm here to help you work through problems and understand concepts in any high school or undergraduate-level biology course. Some of my favorite topics include genetics, evolution, neuroscience, biodiversity, immunology, synthetic biology, and microbiology.

I also currently work as a nonfiction writer and editor. Whether you're working on an essay or your thesis, it comes down to organizing your material into a compelling narrative (impeccable grammar and some precise word choices don't hurt either). I specialize in helping applicants write effective personal statements, research statements, and essays for graduate school and medical school admissions.
