I am a licensed pharmacist (PharmD, RPh) with a Doctor of Pharmacy from Nova Southeastern University and a B.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where I earned President's List and Dean's List honors. I have more than five years of clinical experience as a consultant pharmacist, a clinical pharmacist at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, and a staff pharmacist at CVS Health, so I teach science from the perspective of someone who applies it every day.
My tutoring began at UMBC, where I tutored fellow students in cell biology, genetics, and molecular biology. For the past several years I have tutored students one on one online in general, honors, and AP chemistry and biology, as well as organic chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, molecular and cell biology, physiology, microbiology, virology, and pharmacology. My students range from high schoolers in grade-level, accelerated, and honors courses to college and pre-med students. My clinical work adds to this, since I regularly explain drug therapy to physicians, nurses, patients, and caregivers with very different levels of background knowledge.
In sessions, I start by finding out what you already understand and where things stop making sense. I build from core principles, so reactions, pathways, and drug effects follow logically instead of being memorized as lists, and I connect concepts to real clinical examples. I check understanding by having students explain ideas back to me and work through practice problems together.
