About Katy


Bio

As a neuroscience PhD with 10+ years of teaching experience, I specialize in making complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging. At UC Davis, I taught 200+ undergraduate students introductory neurobiology, developed course material, led discussions and review sessions, and managed course logistics as lead TA from 2012-2016. I was also a TA for cellular biology and a programming lab course, quantitative biology. Outside of the classroom, I have mentored 15+ undergraduate students on...

As a neuroscience PhD with 10+ years of teaching experience, I specialize in making complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging. At UC Davis, I taught 200+ undergraduate students introductory neurobiology, developed course material, led discussions and review sessions, and managed course logistics as lead TA from 2012-2016. I was also a TA for cellular biology and a programming lab course, quantitative biology. Outside of the classroom, I have mentored 15+ undergraduate students on independent research projects at UC Davis and Virginia Tech, and been involved with a lot of public outreach events.

Beyond science, I'm also a writer passionate about helping students develop their English and creative writing skills, whether they're ESL learners or native speakers looking to strengthen their craft. While most of my teaching experience has been at the university level, I am also comfortable teaching elementary school and high school students. Whether you're aiming to master difficult concepts, improve your grades, or develop a deeper understanding, I'm here to help you succeed.

I've been coding in Python for over 6 years. I have extensive experience with the standard data analysis packages, including pandas, numpy, scipy, sk-learn, matplotlib, seaborn, etc. Python is my preferred language, but I also have fundamental knowledge of SQL, Markdown and MATLAB. At UC Davis, I taught a computer coding class called Quantitative Biology / Quantitative Neurobiology using the language Mathcad.
