Hi, my name is Kristine. I have my PhD in Animal Behavior and welfare with a background focused in Ecology, Evolution, and Psychology. I was a teaching assistant in the University of Miami Biology department and then lecturer in the Psychology department at the University of Stirling in Scotland with courses focused in ecology, behavior, evolution, and research methods. I am an Advance Higher Education Associate Fellow with a passion for research. My research is focused on zoo animal welfare and behavior with a specialization in circadian rhythms (past projects with giant pandas and currently with polar bears). Within my research, I have mentored over 30 students writing their own dissertations and theses, several receiving departmental awards for their unique and rigorous work.
My tutoring specializations are in advanced Biostatistics, lab report writing, research paper writing, and general Biology test prep, though I can also tutor in specialized and advanced topics within Ecology, Evolution, and Animal Behavior.
My passion for research stems from my love for animals and my curiosity about the natural world. I approach education and tutoring in the same manner, by only requiring curiosity and patience with developing critical thought. Getting to know the sciences is simply gaining a new perspective on the natural world, and I hope that I can help you see that or at the very least help you pass your course.
