I hold a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences and a Master’s in Clinical Investigation from Harvard Medical School, with over 15 years of experience in scientific research and teaching. My expertise spans biology, microbiology, biochemistry, neuroscience, immunology, aging, and the gut microbiome. I’ve conducted research at leading institutions including Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Boston Children’s Hospital, contributing to clinical trials and translational studies.
My teaching experience includes mentoring graduate students at Harvard Extension School and designing curriculum at Northeastern University to help students understand biotechnology, regulatory affairs, and scientific communication. I’ve also led professional development courses on aging at Purdue University. I adapt my teaching style to each learner, focusing on building foundational understanding, using real-world examples, and encouraging critical thinking. I have taught in classroom, online, and one-on-one formats, supporting undergraduate, graduate, and adult learners.
I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian, and have supported students from diverse backgrounds, including non-native English speakers. I’m passionate about helping students succeed in biology-related subjects and guiding them through complex topics with clarity and patience.
