I’m a neuroscientist with over a decade of experience studying how the brain works and helping others understand it. I earned my PhD in Neuroscience from the University of California, San Francisco, where I spent six years designing experiments, analyzing data, and communicating complex concepts in clear, engaging ways. Before that, I completed my bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry with honors at the University of Oregon. My background spans molecular biology, physiology, and biochemistry, giving me a broad and integrative perspective that I love sharing with students.
Throughout my academic career, I have mentored undergraduate students in one-on-one settings, guiding them through scientific reasoning, experimental design, and critical reading of research papers. I take pride in helping students not just memorize facts, but truly understand how biological systems work and how to think like scientists. My tutoring style is adaptive and encouraging; I focus on building confidence, clarifying difficult ideas through examples, and connecting abstract concepts to real-world applications.
Whether helping a student prepare for an exam, polish a lab report, or deepen their understanding of how the nervous system functions, I aim to make science approachable, logical, and enjoyable. My goal as a tutor is to help each student discover their own ability to think critically and find satisfaction in learning.
