I’m a bioengineering professor (PhD in Molecular Genetics) with 14+ years of experience teaching biology, molecular biology, genetics, and biotech. I work with advanced high school, college, and grad students who want real understanding, beyond just homework answers.

I’m a long-time advisor and executive judge for the international iGEM synthetic biology competition, have advised honors theses, and have served on graduate admissions committees, so I know what strong projects and applications look like from the other side. I can help with:
Biology, molecular biology, genetics, biotech concepts
Lab reports, capstones, and research papers
Science fair and CRISPR/synbio-style projects
Personal statements and grad school applications in STEM

My goal is to help you think like a scientist: breaking down complex ideas, asking good questions, and building clear, confident explanations.

Genetics

Genetics

I hold a Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics and have over 14 years of experience teaching genetics, molecular biology, and related subjects at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. As a professor in the Emory/Georgia Tech Biomedical Engineering program, I mentor students working on genetics-based research and help them master biology concepts such as inheritance, gene regulation, and genome function, as well as engineering concepts such as gene editing (CRISPR), molecular cloning, DNA synthesis, and protein engineering. I have extensive experience guiding learners one-on-one, in small groups, and in classroom settings, and I am skilled at breaking down difficult material into clear, intuitive explanations. My goal is always to help students build confidence, strengthen their problem-solving skills, and achieve success in their coursework.
