I hold a Master of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Georgetown University and a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology from Syracuse University. I am currently a Postbaccalaureate IRTA Research Fellow at the National Institutes of Health, where I apply biological and chemical principles daily through experimental design, data analysis, and problem solving.

My academic and research background spans general biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and chemistry, and I take pride in breaking down complex scientific concepts into easily understandable terms. Much of this experience has involved one-on-one and small-group instruction with high school and undergraduate-level peers through research mentoring, academic collaboration, and scientific presentations, requiring me to adapt explanations to different learning styles and levels of background knowledge.

My tutoring approach focuses on building strong conceptual foundations rather than memorization. I aim to help students understand the “why” behind the material so they can apply concepts confidently on exams and assignments, while creating a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

Biology

Biology

I hold a Master’s degree in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Georgetown University and a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from Syracuse University. I am currently a Postbaccalaureate Research Fellow at the National Institutes of Health, where I study gene expression, protein function, and molecular mechanisms of disease using techniques such as qPCR and Western blotting. My academic and research training includes molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, metabolism, and physiology. I have extensive experience breaking down complex biological concepts into clear, intuitive explanations through research presentations, coursework, and collaborative scientific work, and I am well-equipped to support students in AP Biology, introductory biology, and pre–health coursework.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I hold a Master’s degree in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Georgetown University and a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from Syracuse University, with extensive coursework in general chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry-related concepts. I am currently a Postbaccalaureate Research Fellow at the National Institutes of Health, where I apply chemical principles to understand molecular structure, reactions, and biomolecular interactions. My background includes thermodynamics, kinetics, acid-base chemistry, redox reactions, and solution equilibria as they apply to biological and laboratory systems. I have experience explaining chemistry concepts clearly and systematically through academic work and research, and I am well-equipped to support high school and early college students in General Chemistry and pre-health coursework.
Genetics

Genetics

I hold a Master’s degree in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Georgetown University and a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from Syracuse University. I am currently a Postbaccalaureate Research Fellow at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NIH), where I work in the Undiagnosed Diseases Program using advanced genetic and genomic approaches to investigate rare and complex conditions. My background includes Mendelian genetics, molecular genetics, gene regulation, inheritance patterns, and interpretation of genomic data from whole exome and whole genome sequencing. I have extensive experience explaining genetics concepts clearly and conceptually through research, coursework, and interdisciplinary collaboration, and I am well-equipped to support students in high school genetics, AP Biology genetics units, and early college or pre-health genetics coursework.
Microbiology

Microbiology

I hold a Master’s degree in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Georgetown University and a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology from Syracuse University, with strong training in cellular and molecular biology relevant to microbiology. I am currently a Postbaccalaureate Research Fellow at the National Institutes of Health, where I study gene expression, protein function, and molecular mechanisms of disease. My background includes microbial genetics, cell structure and function, metabolism, host-pathogen interactions, and laboratory-based reasoning used to interpret experimental results. I have experience explaining microbiology concepts clearly through academic and research work and am well-equipped to support students in introductory microbiology and pre-health coursework.
