"I hold a Master of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Georgetown University and a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology from Syracuse University. I am currently a Postbaccalaureate IRTA Research Fellow at the National Institutes of Health, where I apply biological and chemical principles daily through experimental design, data analysis, and problem solving.

My academic and research background spans general biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and chemistry, and I take pride in breaking down complex scientific concepts into easily understandable terms. Much of this experience has involved one-on-one and small-group instruction with high school and undergraduate-level peers through research mentoring, academic collaboration, and scientific presentations, requiring me to adapt explanations to different learning styles and levels of background knowledge.

My tutoring approach focuses on building strong conceptual foundations rather than memorization. I aim to help students understand the “why” behind the material so they can apply concepts confidently on exams and assignments, while creating a supportive and encouraging learning environment." less...
