I've been tutoring and mentoring for several years now, and I'm excited to continue to inspire people interested in STEM. I completed my bachelor's degree from University of California, Berkeley in Molecular and Cell Biology with an emphasis in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and my Ph.D. from Scripps Research Institute in Molecular and Cell Biology/Biochemistry. During my graduate studies, I was able to really delve into the biological niches and relationships to other fields, like biochemistry, neurobiology, and bioinformatics.
Throughout my graduate studies and postdoctoral position, I was able to mentor students from high school to graduate levels, allowing me to shift from abstract explanations to more detailed descriptions of the material. I also was a Teacher's Assistant for the graduate course Protein Folding in the Cell, giving me a unique opportunity to lecture and grade material. As of late, I have been tutoring multiple students in several topics, from biology to math to Spanish, but my forte and passion is truly science. I hope to get more students interested in the sciences through mentorship and tutoring.
I approach tutoring as a conversation. Typically, I will ask my students how they feel about the material and what type of lesson they are requiring. I will prepare material to go over together along with examples, but I feel most helpful when I get direction from my student on what our conversation should be about.
