I am currently pursuing a double major in Biology and Molecular Biology, Biochemistry & Bioinformatics at Towson University, where I have built a strong foundation in the life sciences, chemistry, and research methods. My academic background gives me both the content knowledge and the analytical skills to break down complex topics in ways that are accessible to younger learners.

My direct tutoring experience comes from Reading Partners Baltimore, where I worked one-on-one with elementary-aged students over the course of a year to strengthen their reading comprehension and literacy skills. Beyond that, I serve as President of my university's urban farm, where I have led agricultural and environmental education programming for a range of participants, including a collaboration with a center serving adults with autism. I also work as a Certified Medication Technician, a role that has given me close, consistent experience supporting individuals with autism and other developmental differences, and I have worked with younger students through community organizations to teach science concepts in hands-on settings.

I am most comfortable tutoring elementary and middle school students in reading, writing, life science, earth science, and general biology. My approach is patient and conversational. I focus on making sure a student genuinely understands something before moving on, rather than just getting through material. My background working with neurodiverse individuals means I am comfortable adapting how I explain things and meeting each student where they are.

Approved Subjects

Botany

Botany

As President of Towson University's Urban Farm and former vice president of the CCBC Environmental club, I have developed practical expertise in plant biology, soil health, growth cycles, and sustainable agriculture through direct hands-on work. I have led educational programming on agricultural and ecological concepts for a range of participants, including a formal collaboration with a center serving adults with autism. My academic foundation in biology and biochemistry complements this field experience, giving me both the scientific vocabulary and the applied understanding to explain botany concepts clearly. I am comfortable tutoring students on plant anatomy, photosynthesis, ecosystems, and introductory ecology
Environmental Science

Environmental Science

I am a Biology/Biochemistry & Bioinformatics double major at Towson University with hands-on experience in environmental science through undergraduate research in environmental toxicology, systems ecology, and field-based environmental studies. As President of the Towson University Urban Farm, I apply environmental science principles including soil ecology, sustainable agriculture, and food sovereignty in real-world settings. I have also conducted independent research on environmental justice and the ecological impacts of resource extraction, giving me a strong interdisciplinary foundation. I bring both academic rigor and practical field experience to help students connect classroom concepts to real environmental challenges.
Martial Arts

Martial Arts

I have been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai for two years, currently holding a blue belt in BJJ. My training has given me a strong foundation in grappling fundamentals, striking technique, positional control, and the defensive principles that are essential for beginners to develop safely. I am best suited to introducing new students and younger practitioners to martial arts basics, with an emphasis on proper form, discipline, and building confidence on the mat. I approach instruction the same way I approach all teaching — patiently, meeting students where they are rather than pushing them faster than they're ready for.
