I have a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology with a minor in Pharmacology and Toxicology, a Master of Science in Biotechnology with a concentration in Biochemistry and Separation Science, and I am currently pursuing a PhD through the Roswell Park Graduate Division at the University at Buffalo, where my research focuses on prostate cancer metabolism and epigenetics. My academic and research training has given me a strong foundation in biology, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, pharmacology, and related life sciences, along with extensive laboratory and data analysis experience.
I have been involved in teaching at the University at Buffalo and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center since 2017. I have served as a teaching assistant for undergraduate and graduate courses, working with groups of approximately 15 to 60 students. My teaching experience includes clinical biochemistry, bioseparation techniques, clinical hematology and hemostasis, genomic and proteomic analyses, tumor microenvironment, and epigenetics. I have led review sessions, held office hours, assisted students with laboratory experiments, provided one-on-one academic support, and delivered lectures and discussions. I focus on breaking complex scientific concepts into manageable pieces and adapting my explanations to each student's needs.
My combination of formal education, research experience, and teaching experience allows me to support students in biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, pharmacology, and related life sciences. I enjoy helping students build both understanding and confidence by encouraging questions, working through problems step by step, and connecting concepts to practical examples.
