I'm a UC Santa Barbara Honors Program graduate (BS, Microbiology and Earth Science, 2022–2026), and current biology PhD student at Harvard University. My teaching experience spans about four years across several settings. As a Teaching Assistant for UCSB's Collection Curation course, I supported undergraduates learning hands-on lab and archival methods. Through Sprout Up, I volunteered weekly for a semester as a classroom teacher for 1st and 2nd graders, designing environmental science lessons for young learners. During a Berkeley STEER research internship, I helped lead classroom instruction on bioinformatics for the Soil-Seq module. As Student Museum Curator at UCSB's Cheadle Center, I've spent three years mentoring undergraduate interns one-on-one in lab and collection techniques, plus leading public tours on biodiversity and natural history. My approach is hands-on and inquiry-based: I break complex science into concrete, guided steps and adjust explanations to each student's background and pace. I'm equipped to tutor biology, microbiology, environmental science, and earth science for students ranging from elementary through college level.
