Hello! I am a PhD student at the University of CA, Santa Barbara with more than two years of teaching experience at the college level, but I am excited to work with students of all ages! My experience ranges from mathematics, physics, engineering, programming, ecology, and statistics to writing and geography.

My philosophy includes teaching through hands on experience and practice to reinforce technical skills. Drawing on my experience as a student, I approach each student as an individual, respecting each student's unique needs, interests, and motivations. I enjoy teaching to build understanding of abstract or mathematical frameworks to describe the natural world; guiding students from abstraction to reality.

Regarding my technical experience, I have completed a BS in Engineering, which required rigorous mathematics and other courses in STEM. I also maintained my writing skills and worked towards a broader perspective by taking a robust writing course each year in college, from global economics to gender studies. I am currently pursuing a masters in statistics as well as a PhD in geography (wildfire ecology), requiring application of geo-statistics and higher level mathematics and directly studying complex topics of ecology and eco hydrology. As a graduate teaching associate, I am regularly assigned a class section of 15-25 college students to teach. I prepare lessons (sometimes for the course and sometimes for lab) and instruct students 1-2 times per week, as well as fulfill grading and advising responsibilities.

Beyond academic help, I am also always happy to talk with my students about college and graduate school, including the application process and my personal experiences.

Please feel free to reach out, I'm excited to meet you!

I am continuing my academic career in STEM as a doctoral student and have more than 2 years of teaching experience in STEM including rigorous mathematical courses. I am pursuing a masters in statistics, which requires a robust understanding of mathematics, including and beyond calculus.
Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering

I completed my undergraduate degree in civil engineering. I also completed an internship in civil engineering, water management with HDR.
Data Science

Data Science

I work with data analysis daily and am constantly exploring new techniques and advancing my skills in this field. I have completed statistics courses in data science at the graduate level, and am currently pursuing a masters in statistics with an emphasis in data science.
Ecology

Ecology

I am a doctoral student pursuing research in wildfire ecology. I have detailed knowledge of ecology fundamentals, as well as specific knowledge of plants, ecohydrology, and wildfire.
Geometry

Geometry

I hold a bachelors of science, engineering, which required rigorous math courses. I am continuing my academic career in STEM as a doctoral student and have more than 2 years of teaching experience in STEM including rigorous mathematical courses, however I enjoy working with students of all ages!
GIS

GIS

I work with GIS and geospatial techniques regularly. I implement GIS techniques though python and regularly use GIS software in my research. Undergraduate degree in civil engineering.
Statistics

Statistics

I hold a bachelors of science, engineering, which required rigorous math courses including and beyond statistics. I am continuing my academic career in STEM as a doctoral student. I am pursuing a masters in statistics and have more than 2 years of teaching experience in STEM.
Writing

Writing

I am a published graduate student. I have my greatest experience in scientific writing but have a broad experience in writing - I have an undergraduate degree in engineering, but made sure to take a reading/writing course in humanities every year so the skill would not atrophy.

Amazing tutor!

Kristina is articulate and concise when explaining how code works, with a natural ability to break complex concepts into simple, understandable steps. They are a patient and effective tutor who takes the time to ensure you not only understand the code itself but also the reasoning behind it.

vary helpful and patient.

Kristina Helped me with my lab with a focus was on raster, including raster symbology and converting raster to shapefiles. She helped me save my files into a new geodatabase and made sure I compressed the file into a zip file. she is very helpful.
