"I am a recent Masters of Science in molecular cellular and developmental biology graduate from UC Santa Barbara. I have over 3+ years of teaching experience as a teaching assistant for college-level classes such as introductory biology, anatomy and physiology, eukaryotic genetics, and prokaryotic genetics. Prior to my graduate studies

I peer facilitated an developmental biology class at the University of Washington, where I got my Bachelors of Science degree in Molecular Biology.

I have over 5+ years of research experience spanning a high school internship studying the molecular phylogenetics of plants endemic to the Galapagos, my undergraduate research experience, and graduate research thesis.

I studied cell fate in relation to cell survival and dna double strand break repair mechanisms in relation to CRISPR therapeutics during my graduate degree and quantitative biology in relation to neurodegenerative diseases during my undergraduate degree, incorporating both wetlab and extensive bioinformatics skills using Python, R, Genome Wide Association Studies, ImageJ, and Jupyterlab. I am passionate about making students as excited about science as I am and seeing that lightbulb moment when a concept clicks for them." less...
