About Mia


Bio

Hello, my name is Mia! I am a computational neuroscience PhD student at the University of Chicago, where I study songbird brains. Before graduate school, I graduated from Emory University with a Bachelors in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology, as well as from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering. I graduated with highest honors despite doing my neuroscience degree in only 3 years and my engineering degree in only 2. I know how to do school, and I can...

Hello, my name is Mia! I am a computational neuroscience PhD student at the University of Chicago, where I study songbird brains. Before graduate school, I graduated from Emory University with a Bachelors in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology, as well as from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering. I graduated with highest honors despite doing my neuroscience degree in only 3 years and my engineering degree in only 2. I know how to do school, and I can help you excel!

I love to teach and have formally and as a volunteer. Formally, I taught a PhD level course in Behavioral Neuroscience (Neuroethology) and an undergraduate course in extreme human physiology. Both of these courses were at the University of Chicago, where I completed my TA requirements for my PhD. I also volunteer with Skype a Scientist, where I give guest lectures to classrooms around the world with students ranging from kindergarten to adults. I believe a good scientist should be capable of explaining things to people at any level, and I have practice doing this that will make me a great help to you.

Finally, I also took the MCAT last year. In only a month of prep time, I was able to achieve a 98th percentile score. If you want advice on how I prepped and to strategize on test taking, I am more than happy to share how I accomplished this.

If you have needs at any level in life sciences, MCAT topics, or even math and engineering, I can teach virtually any subject you need help with.

MCAT

MCAT

I have bachelors degrees in Neuroscience & Behavioral Biology as well as Biomedical Engineering, giving me a solid foundation in biology, chemistry, and psychology. I am a PhD student in Computational Neuroscience and have 10+ years of research experience, giving me lots of practical knowledge for interpreting data as it is presented on the MCAT. I also self studied for the MCAT in one month and scored in the 98th percentile, including a 100th percentile psychology score.
Zoology

In my academic career, I have been fortunate to work with and learn about many amazing animals. I am most comfortable focusing on birds and primates but am happy to talk about any kinds of animals. I worked in a primate behavioral research lab for 1 year and took courses with a world-famous primatologist. I now have 5 years of experience working with songbirds in my thesis research as well as my volunteer position in the birds collection at the Field Museum in Chicago.
