I am a PhD-trained biologist with a background in Biotechnology and Health Sciences, and over 15 years of experience in biological research and education. My academic training, combined with authorship on more than 20 peer-reviewed scientific publications and international research presentations, has given me a deep understanding of subjects such as cell biology, molecular biology, immunology, and microbiology. Alongside my research career, I have developed a strong passion for teaching and mentoring students at various levels.
Currently, I work as a research mentor and laboratory instructor, where I train undergraduate and graduate students in both foundational concepts and advanced laboratory techniques. My teaching experience includes one-on-one mentoring, small group instruction, and classroom lecturing. I have guided students through experimental design, data analysis, and scientific writing, helping them build not just subject knowledge but also confidence in problem-solving and critical thinking. I specialize in general biology, cell and molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, and biology-related coursework for pre-med and allied health students.
My teaching approach is centered on clarity, engagement, and adaptability. I break down complex concepts into simple, understandable ideas and use real-world examples to make the material more relatable. I typically structure sessions to include concept explanation, guided practice, and independent problem-solving, ensuring students actively engage with the material. I tailor each lesson to the student’s individual learning style and pace, whether they need help building a strong foundation or mastering advanced topics.
I am committed to creating a supportive and effective learning environment. I offer flexible scheduling and encourage open communication, so students feel comfortable asking questions and seeking clarification. I am happy to discuss goals in an initial consultation and can adapt sessions to meet specific academic needs.
