As a Neuroscience student at Arizona State University's Barrett Honors College, I've developed a teaching approach that blends academic knowledge with practical experience. My work has been recognized through several honors including the New American University President Scholarship and Psychology Scholar Award, though what truly matters is how I use this knowledge to help students succeed.
My research at the Biodesign Institute, where I collaborate with Mayo Clinic on cardio-oncology projects, has given me hands-on experience with Python data modeling and scientific communication. This means when I explain complex biology concepts, I can draw from actual research examples rather than just textbook theories. At the Arizona Biomedical Collaborative, I study psychological aspects of health conditions, which helps me understand different learning styles and how stress affects academic performance.
Beyond the lab, I've gained valuable perspective through clinical work. Shadowing doctors at Mayo Clinic showed me how medical professionals explain complex information to patients - a skill I now use when breaking down difficult topics for students. My time at private clinics taught me how to adjust my teaching based on individual needs, whether helping a complete beginner or someone preparing for advanced exams.
As a published author with work appearing in multiple literary journals, I bring professional writing experience to my tutoring. I particularly enjoy helping students improve their scientific writing skills, whether for lab reports, research papers, or college applications. Having worked with everyone from middle school students to college seniors, I've learned to adapt my teaching style to different ages and learning preferences.
