"My goal is to help students of all ages excel in their biological sciences, English/writing, communications, philosophy, and theology courses. I particularly enjoy assisting students comprehend challenging readings and concepts (if given advanced notice) and with written assignments, especially long-form (5+ pages) papers. I am happy to provide any assistance needed with written assignments, from brainstorming discussions through detailed feedback on draft papers. I am also available to meet in person or online with a small group of students to discuss readings and concepts, and to prepare for tests.

I have a PhD in Pharmacology from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, a Master of Arts in Theology and Christian Ministry from Franciscan University of Steubenville, and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Villanova University. I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry since 1999 as a Medical/Scientific Publication Planner and Writer, a Medical Communication Specialist, lead for a nationwide safety program, and a Learning and Performance/Training Professional.

My areas of expertise are mammalian biology, pharmacology, cancer, cardiovascular disease, business writing and communication, scientific writing and communication, philosophy of science, metaphysics, bioethics, Judeo-Christian Scriptures, and Catholic dogmatic and moral theology.

I have taught sessions of hundreds of people, as well as small groups and individual students. I began mentoring individual pharmacy graduate students in 2013, and tutoring theology/philosophy students in 2022. As a volunteer, I have taught adults, teenagers, and children theology for over 20 years, and have presented on professional topics to high school students." less...
