I hold a Master of Science in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Georgetown University and a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology from Syracuse University. I currently work as a Postbaccalaureate IRTA Research Fellow at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where I study rare genetic diseases and the molecular mechanisms that drive neurological disorders.
In my research, I analyze patient-derived cells using techniques such as qPCR and Western blotting to understand how genetic mutations affect gene expression and protein function. This work requires applying concepts from biology, chemistry, genetics, and biochemistry every day through experimental design, data analysis, and critical problem-solving.
I work with students in subjects including general biology, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and chemistry. Whether you're preparing for an exam, working through difficult homework problems, or trying to understand challenging material, I focus on breaking down complex scientific concepts into easily understandable terms.
My tutoring approach focuses on building strong conceptual foundations rather than memorization. I help students understand the “why” behind the material so they can apply concepts confidently on exams and assignments. My goal is to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and developing lasting scientific intuition.
