"I have a broad and in-depth academic background in environmental and natural sciences, with strong experience in data analysis and quantitative methods. I hold a BA in Environmental Studies and a BS in Biology (minor in Chemistry) from the University of Pittsburgh, as well as an MS in Sustainability Science from Columbia University. I also completed two and a half years of doctoral coursework and research in Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences at Washington State University.

My academic training spans biology, ecology, earth science, hydrology, and environmental policy, with applied experience in GIS, remote sensing, statistics, and R programming. I have worked extensively with real-world datasets and enjoy helping students build both conceptual understanding and practical skills.

I bring substantial teaching experience at multiple levels. I have tutored middle-school math, worked as a high-school substitute teacher, and served as a graduate teaching assistant for GIS, hydrology, and forest management courses at Columbia University and Washington State University. I focus on clear explanations, patience, and helping students gain confidence in challenging material." less...
