About Megan

Bio

I’m Megan! I graduated cum laude with a BA in Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychology and then went on to get my MS in Physician Assistant Studies. In both degrees, the classes that I took the most away from were not those that I was most interested in material wise but those where I had a professor that made a lasting impact on my life. This was done through mentorship, constructive criticism and lasting kindness and patience. Because this was such an integral part of my learning experience,...

I’m Megan! I graduated cum laude with a BA in Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychology and then went on to get my MS in Physician Assistant Studies. In both degrees, the classes that I took the most away from were not those that I was most interested in material wise but those where I had a professor that made a lasting impact on my life. This was done through mentorship, constructive criticism and lasting kindness and patience. Because this was such an integral part of my learning experience, I try to carry these skills over in to my tutoring approach hoping every student that I work with leaves the appointment feeling supported and understood!

I have experience tutoring in a few settings. First, I was a psychology and neuroscience tutor for my college while I was a junior and senior in my undergrad. This was an amazing experience as I got to work with students at all points of these degrees, and help them formulate study techniques, understand content and improve scores on exams. I then was able to transition into a TA/preceptor role for advanced neuroscience classes where I was a solo tutor to these student cohorts. While in this role I was able to send the students weekly check ins, meet with students 1-on-1 and assist them with data analysis and scientific writing. I conducted study sessions for exams and I was also able to teach a unit of the class which gave me great experience with formulating content and explaining concepts to a large group of learners. During this time I also wrote and received a research grant from my school and was able to then assist my peers with their scientific writing skills and thesis development.

I want to benefit the students I work with as much as possible, therefore I welcome any resources or suggestions students or parents can provide. I am easy to reach and will always provide timely responses. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

I have my Masters in Science in Physician Assistant Studies and I have taken 5 levels of anatomy classes as well as participated in multiple cadaver labs. I have been able to put knowledge into practice while on clinical rotations in PA school, further highlighting my anatomy skills. I have also had the opportunity to assist in near, ortho and general surgeries, solidifying my understanding of human anatomy.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

I have a Bachelors degree in Behavioral Neuroscience and during my time earning this degree I served as a tutor for all level neuroscience classes. I also served as a TA and preceptor for the advanced level neuroscience classes where I was a solo tutor and mentor to a cohort of students. I then went on to obtain my Masters of Science in Physician Assistant Studies where I mastered medical Neuroscience and Neurology and was able to assist in various neurosurgeries.
Nutrition

Nutrition

I have my MSPAS during which I completed and passed nutrition unit exams as well as had the opportunity to work closely with registered dietitians and those with their Masters in Dietetics. I also took a course specifically on nutrition based biochemistry in my undergrad education to further my medical knowledge of nutrition. During my time on rotations in PA school I was able to put my clinical nutrition knowledge into practice.
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

I have my Masters of Science in Physician Assistant studies where I had to complete extensive courses on pharmacology and pass numerous pharmacology certification exams for each body system and subject area of medicine. I also was able to clinically practice prescription writing and medication prescribing out on rotations. I also served as a pharmacy technician for over a year before starting PA school which familiarized me with medications and controlled substance training. Additionally, my degree in Neuroscience expanded my knowledge of how drugs work on the brain and I wrote and completed a research grant and study assessing opioid addiction and its affects on brain chemistry.
Psychology

Psychology

I have my Bachelors degree in Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience during which I was able to serve as a student tutor for all levels of psychology classes. I graduated Cum Laude for this degree and was recognized as the Neuroscience Outstanding Major of the Year, highlighting my success in my psychology and neuroscience classes. I also was part of a psych based research team where I got to help with study design and data collection for a psych based research project looking at food cravings and their links to weight and eating disorders.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

During my Bachelors degree I wrote and received a research grant where I was awarded funding based on medical writing to conduct a neuroscience based research project. These are very limited grants with only a small select few students receiving them each year. Additionally, after completing that grant research I constructed a Neuroscience capstone thesis on my findings and presented the work at a Chicago conference for Neuroscience where I placed second in the undergraduate research competition. I then went on to earn my MSPAS degree where I wrote a medical capstone thesis on CTE and the NFLs concussion and return to play protocol where I was able to present this research to a hospital system at large earning high marks and my degree there as well.
