"I hold a PhD in Translational Biomedical Science with a concentration in Bioinformatics from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. My doctoral research focused on environmental exposures and maternal–child health, combining biology, statistics, and data analysis. I also earned a BA in Biochemistry with a concentration in Political Science from CUNY Hunter College, giving me a strong foundation in both STEM coursework and analytical reading and writing. I am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Chicago. My advanced training allows me to explain complex scientific and quantitative concepts in clear, accessible ways tailored to each student’s learning style.

I have extensive experience teaching and mentoring students in science, math, and academic writing, both formally and informally. My teaching approach emphasizes:

Breaking down complex concepts into clear, step-by-step explanations

Building confidence and problem-solving skills, not memorization

Adjusting explanations to match a student’s pace and learning style

Teaching students how to think, not just what to answer

As a PhD-trained researcher, I regularly teach through:

One-on-one mentoring

Guided problem solving

Conceptual explanations using real-world examples

Structured feedback on writing, problem sets, and exams

I am exceptionally skilled at helping students who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or discouraged regain confidence and clarity." less...
