Bio

I am a PhD biologist with years of experience in both industry and university-level instruction. I am driven by a sincere desire to give back to the academic community by helping the next generation of students navigate their own paths to discovery. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of mentoring students who have gone on to become doctors and scientists themselves.

I am a PhD biologist with years of experience in both industry and university-level instruction. I am driven by a sincere desire to give back to the academic community by helping the next generation of students navigate their own paths to discovery. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of mentoring students who have gone on to become doctors and scientists themselves. They have shared that our sessions changed more than just their grades - it changed how they look at learning, how they approach challenges, and ultimately, how they understand the world and their own potential within it.

My passion for teaching started in high school, where I found myself tutoring my own classmates and upperclassmen. Today, that same love for helping others learn remains my driving force. I believe that while rote memorization has its place, true mastery comes from understanding the "how" and the "why." Every student learns differently, and I pride myself on the patience and creativity required to help them connect the dots. My greatest reward is seeing a student move from confusion to coherent understanding.

In an era where "answers" are everywhere, I teach students how to think. I help to bridge the gap between complex facts and true conceptual understanding, tailoring my approach to fit how each individual processes information. From the foundational basics to advanced concepts, I help students find that "ah-ha" moment that builds lasting confidence.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions and see how I can best be of help. I look forward to helping you or your child reach that next level of understanding.
