"With a strong academic foundation including current Ph.D. candidacy in Bioengineering at Northeastern University, I bring both deep theoretical knowledge and practical expertise to tutoring. My research specializes in cutting-edge areas like Oxford Nanopore sequencing, RNA modification analysis, and Python-based bioinformatics pipeline development, supported by prestigious fellowships from NASA and NIH.

My teaching experience spans multiple levels and formats. As a graduate research mentor, I've trained lab members in computational biology techniques, guiding them through Python programming, Linux environments, and next-generation sequencing analysis. Earlier, as a mathematics tutor at Kilohana, I worked one-on-one with college students, developing customized approaches to master algebra and calculus. Through NASA outreach programs, I've designed and delivered engaging STEM workshops that make complex genomic and space biology concepts accessible to K-12 audiences.

I adapt my teaching to each student's needs, whether they're a high schooler exploring bioinformatics, an undergraduate tackling their first research project, or a graduate student refining analytical skills. My approach combines hands-on exercises with conceptual explanations, always relating material to real-world research applications. I particularly enjoy helping students overcome the initial intimidation by breaking down complex topics into manageable, practical steps.

What sets my tutoring apart is my current, active research experience. I don't just teach textbook concepts - I bring insights from developing novel analysis methods that are being published in top journals. Students benefit from learning directly from someone pushing the boundaries in the field while understanding the foundational knowledge needed to succeed. My goal is to equip students with both technical skills and the problem-solving mindset needed for independent research in computational biology." less...
