I am a dual-degree student in my senior year at the University of Alabama at Birmingham completing a B.S. in Neuroscience and an M.S. in Biomedical Science with a Neuroscience concentration, maintaining a 4.0 graduate GPA and a 3.93 undergraduate GPA. My academic background spans neuroscience, biochemistry, cell biology, and chemistry, and I bring genuine research depth to the subjects I tutor, having spent the past three years as an active research assistant in a university lab.
My teaching experience is both formal and hands-on. For the past two semesters I have served as a Teaching Assistant for BT 652, a graduate-level biotechnology course covering laboratory applications for nucleic acid and amino acid-based research. In that role I have worked directly with graduate students, explaining technical concepts and guiding them through complex procedures. Beyond the classroom, I mentor undergraduate students one-on-one as a UAB Undergraduate Research Ambassador, helping them navigate research entry and academic development. I also serve as Co-Editor-in-Chief of Inquiro, UAB's undergraduate research journal, where I coach students through scientific writing and the peer review process.
My approach to tutoring centers on connecting concepts to real applications. I find that students at the graduate and undergraduate level retain material best when abstract ideas are grounded in something concrete. I am comfortable working with pre-med / pre-doctoral undergraduates, biology and chemistry students, and anyone tackling coursework in the life sciences.
