"Dear Future Students,

As a recent PhD in Pathology/Immunology from the University of Rochester, I bring five years of cutting-edge research experience and a passion for making complex science accessible. My academic journey from Chemistry-Biochemistry at Colby College to advanced graduate work has given me deep expertise across biology, chemistry, microbiology, and biochemistry—plus the ability to break down challenging concepts into understandable lessons.

My research at prestigious institutions like the University of Rochester and Jackson Laboratory resulted in multiple peer-reviewed publications as a first author. This hands-on laboratory experience allows me to connect textbook theories to real scientific discoveries and medical applications, making learning more engaging and relevant for students.

What sets my tutoring apart is my proven communication skills. Having presented at 10+ national conferences and published in top-tier journals, I've mastered explaining complex ideas to diverse audiences. I tailor my teaching style to each student's needs, utilizing visual aids, real-world examples, and problem-solving techniques that best suit their learning style.

My formal teaching experience includes tutoring immunology students, leading workshops on Foundations of Modern Biology, and teaching chemistry lab sections. I've successfully helped students navigate both theoretical concepts and practical applications. As a bilingual Spanish speaker, I can also support students learning Spanish or those who benefit from instruction in their native language.

Whether you're tackling basic chemistry, advanced microbiology, American history, or Spanish, I'm here to help you succeed with patience and expertise." less...
