I am a doctoral-level tutor (Health Policy PhD) with nearly twenty years of experience in research, evaluation, and academic writing. My career includes senior roles at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, FasterCures, the American Hospital Association, and Avalere Health, where I led research studies, analyzed national datasets, and produced publication-ready reports for academic, clinical, and policy audiences. My dissertation, using advanced quantitative methods and national linked datasets, strengthened my expertise in research design, statistics, and scholarly writing.
My teaching experience spans several settings and student levels. I spent two years tutoring SAT prep at Chyten, working 1:1 with high school students to build reading, writing, and analytical skills. I later served as a college-level instructor at Ithaca College, where I taught a course on health disparities and mentored undergraduate students. I also supported graduate students throughout my own doctoral program, helping them with research methods, data interpretation, literature reviews, and academic writing across public health, psychology, policy, and social science fields.
I focus on creating clarity for and building confidence in students. I work closely with students to break down complex concepts, organize their ideas, and strengthen their analytical and writing abilities. Whether guiding someone through a research design, helping interpret statistical output, preparing a high school student for college, or refining the structure and flow of a paper or thesis, I focus on building understanding while also correcting work. I enjoy supporting learners at all stages, including high school students who are building foundational writing and critical-thinking skills, as well as college and graduate students working toward capstones, theses, and dissertations.
My goal in every session is to provide individualized guidance, helping students become more independent, capable, and confident in their work.
