I earned my PhD in Genetics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I also graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Genetics from the University of Georgia, with a near-perfect GPA.

While at MIT, I was a teaching assistant for both undergraduate and graduate-level Genetics courses. I led weekly breakout sessions, hosted office hours, and helped design exams and problem sets. My teaching philosophy emphasizes building strong foundational logic in biological sciences—helping students break down complex concepts into approachable steps. I’ve taught students pursuing careers in medicine, biology, and bioengineering, and I’ve also mentored PhD students one-on-one in lab techniques and research design.

Beyond the classroom, I’ve guided students in mastering everything from CRISPR gene-editing to experimental design and data interpretation. Whether you're preparing for the MCAT, struggling with college-level genetics, or just want to boost your biology grades, I tailor my sessions to each student’s goals and learning style. My aim is to make science clear, logical, and even exciting. I’m excited to work with curious minds at all levels and help students not only improve their performance but also build confidence in their scientific thinking.

I hold a PhD in Genetics from MIT, where I conducted groundbreaking research on the genetic regulation of cell death in the lab of Nobel Laureate Dr. H. Robert Horvitz. My work, which explored the interaction between the BCL2 homolog CED-9 and APAF1 homolog CED-4, was published in Science Advances and highlighted by MIT News. I have hands-on expertise with advanced genetic techniques including CRISPR gene editing, molecular cloning, and microscopy. With years of experience teaching and mentoring students in genetics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, I specialize in making complex genetic concepts clear and approachable in the classroom and at the bench.
