I am a Master's student in Psychology at New York University with a 3.9 GPA, currently working full time as a Clinical Research Associate at Park Avenue Neurology under a board-certified neurologist. My academic and professional background spans neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, Alzheimer's disease research, and clinical assessment. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University and have spent the last several years embedded in research environments at NYU, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Mount Sinai, and the VA. I have administered full neuropsychological test batteries, run statistical analyses in SPSS and R, and led teams of undergraduate researchers through active projects. I have published peer-reviewed work and presented at national conferences including the Eastern Psychological Association and the International Neuropsychological Society.
My tutoring experience has been one-on-one and in small group settings, primarily with undergraduate psychology and pre-med students navigating statistics, research methods, APA writing, and core psychology coursework. I currently formally mentor undergraduate students through NYU's CAS-GSAS Mentorship Program, meeting regularly to guide them through academic challenges and graduate school preparation. I focus on identifying exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and rebuilding from that point, rather than restating material in the same way that already did not work. I am patient, direct, and structured in my approach.
I am well suited to tutor statistics, research methods, SPSS, R, abnormal psychology, neuroscience, biopsychology, cognitive psychology, APA writing, literature reviews, and graduate school application strategy. I work best with undergraduate and early graduate students who want to actually understand the material, not just get through an assignment.
