I am a healthcare consultant with work involving research, writing, teaching, and culinary education. I am also a published author with strong writing skills. I completed my dietetic internship at Massachusetts General Hospital. I earned my MPH in Public Health Nutrition from UC Berkeley. At Princeton, I majored in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and minored in Environmental Studies, Sustainable Energy, and Italian.

I have extensive experience with tutoring, beginning with Italian in high school, and then statistics, Italian, and chemistry to fellow students in college. I took courses in many different areas of science throughout college, all at or above the AP or introductory level. Since graduating, I have tutored students ranging from high school to retirement age in statistics, Italian, and biology. I also have experience tutoring all subjects on the SAT, most recently in 2018. I took subject tests in Biology, Chemistry, Math II, and Italian, and can also tutor for those tests.

I have strong background in foreign languages, ranging from 8 years of studying Italian, three of Spanish, two of Latin, and a summer spent teaching myself introductory Swahili. I won a national essay contest in Italian in high school, as well as state Latin competitions, and earned top scores in national Latin and Italian exams. I am very interested in linguistics, and participated in multiple rounds of an international linguistics competition in high school.

I have always loved teaching and mentoring students and I would love the chance to work with you.

Biology

Biology

I studied biology in college and completed classes ranging from molecular biology to mammalian evolution. I also completed extensive field and lab work for internships, courses, and independent research. I have tutored high school and college students in biology for a few years and taught physiology, microbiology, and nutrition to college students at UC Berkeley.
Biostatistics

Biostatistics

I have tutored statistics in many years for students spanning high school to graduate school. I earned my MPH at UC Berkeley and have taken many semesters of statistics and applied the methods in my coursework and master's thesis.
College Counseling

College Counseling

As a graduate of Princeton University, I am fully aware of the difficult process and all the components and effort involved in a successful college application, interview, and matriculation. I have tutored high school students in several different subjects, and am well qualified to help with coursework as well. While a student at Princeton, I volunteered to be a representative at my high school, and presented to students in the guidance office about the process of applying to Princeton, and answered all their questions. And as a leader of freshman orientation camping trips at Princeton, I have a lot of experience and training in working with and mentoring younger students.

I regularly develop and teach culinary medicine programs for health professionals and students. I also teach classes about healthy cooking for local companies and community organizations. I have also developed and analyzed recipes for food companies and published a series of cookbooks.

Essay Writing

A strong writer with publications spanning from books to peer-reviewed articles to public-facing blogs, I am passionate about high-quality writing and helping others to clearly share their messages to persuade audiences. I am regularly sought for my editing skills, as well. I have tutored students in writing, including college and graduate school applications, for many years.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I have conducted alma interviews for my alma mater, Princeton, for 13 years. In this role, I lead multiple prospective student interviews each year and develop reports to send to the admissions office to describe our conversations and the students' strengths (or weaknesses) and overall fit with the university. I also led interviews for the consulting firm where I used to work and have supervised various interns, providing feedback to guide their academic and professional journeys. Finally, I am regularly featured on podcasts and in other presentations in which I'm interviewed to deliver practical and/or educational content for professional and lay audiences.

Great Help

Christina was able to help me out with a quick turn around time. After struggling for hours on a graduate level stats class I reached out to her and she responded within an hour of my message. She was able to help walk me through the assignment and was clear and concise. Will absolutely reach out to her again for our next assignment.
