Biology

am a PhD-trained neuroscientist (GPA 3.97) with over 8 years of postdoctoral and industry research, including a fellowship at Harvard Medical School and translational biology roles in leading biotech companies. My teaching experience spans Anatomy & Physiology, Biology, Genetics, Microbiology, and Neuroscience at universities in the U.S. and abroad, where I designed engaging courses, mentored undergraduates, and prepared students for exams such as the MCAT. I am the author of 20+ peer-reviewed publications and co-inventor on 2 patents, bringing students not only academic expertise but also a window into real-world applications of science. In addition, I am trilingual in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, with years of experience teaching languages alongside science, helping students build both knowledge and confidence across disciplines.

MCAT

I bring a PhD in Neurosciences (GPA 3.97) and over 8 years of postdoctoral and industry research experience to MCAT preparation, giving students a strong foundation in biology, biochemistry, physiology, and critical thinking. I have taught Anatomy & Physiology, Genetics, Microbiology, and Biology in universities across the U.S. and internationally, developing course materials that emphasize clarity, data interpretation, and real-world application—all skills directly tested on the MCAT. With 20+ publications and 2 patents, I guide students not just to memorize facts but to approach problems like scientists, connecting concepts across disciplines. My mentoring track record shows students achieving higher grades, research success, and increased confidence in tackling rigorous exams.

Neuroscience

As a Harvard Medical School postdoctoral fellow and experienced neuroscientist, I have led preclinical and translational research in neurodegenerative diseases, siRNA/ASO therapies, and biomarker discovery. I have designed and taught neuroscience courses linking cellular neurobiology to human systems, with students consistently reporting high satisfaction and strong performance outcomes. My expertise is supported by 20+ peer-reviewed publications, international lectures, and mentoring undergraduates and junior scientists who went on to publish and pursue advanced degrees. I excel at breaking down complex neuroscience concepts—such as neural circuits, pharmacology, and neuroimmunology—into clear, practical lessons that inspire both understanding and curiosity.

Spanish

Fluent in Spanish with proven experience teaching grammar, conversation, and practical communication to students from diverse backgrounds, including Portuguese and English speakers. Skilled at developing tailored lesson plans to address common challenges such as verb conjugation, pronouns, and sentence structure. Experienced university lecturer with a strong record of clear instruction, student engagement, and adapting methods to individual learning styles.
