My name is Ericka and I graduated from Spelman College with a BS in Biology and the Univ. of Cincinnati with a masters in Health Promotion & Education. I have worked as a biology teacher for one year and an English tutor for about 15 years. I am a grant writing consultant with experience in research in the sciences & non profit management in the public health field. I have specifically worked with students who need help with English papers, reports, and even writing samples for college entrances. I have also worked with students to improve their vocabulary for the SAT and GRE. I have tutored high school biology students. These students typically need help understanding concepts in genetics, cell structure and function, and ecology. I have worked at several labs as a research assistant in stem cell research for cancer, genetics, cardiovascular disease, and neurobiology. As a grant writer I have secured several millions of dollars in grants in the sciences in part due to my writing & reporting skills. I am passionate about helping young people communicate their thoughts through writing and use the fundamentals of science for careers in either the sciences, medicine, or health related fields.

Genetics

Genetics

I studied Genetics in college and gained hands-on experience working in several genetics research labs. My work included time in a Molecular Genetics lab at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati and the Velocigene Lab at Regeneron where I conducted research involving DNA amplification, purification, PCR, immunoassay analysis, and the development of knock-out and knock-in mouse models. Additionally, I had the opportunity to work with world-renowned geneticist Dr. Thomas Doetschman at the University of Cincinnati, focusing on gene targeting in mice. These experiences have given me a strong foundation in advanced genetic research techniques.
