Academic Excellence & Research Expertise

I am Kristen M., a dual-degree candidate pursuing both a Juris Doctor and Master's in Bioethics at Case Western Reserve University, with an anticipated graduation in 2026. My academic foundation includes a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Boston College, where I developed a strong foundation in life sciences that I have since applied in both research and teaching contexts.

As a published researcher and co-author on multiple peer-reviewed publications, I bring real laboratory experience to my tutoring practice. During my two years as Research Lab Technician and Lab Manager at the University of Southern California's Benayoun Lab, I conducted cutting-edge research in aging and reproductive biology while mentoring undergraduate students in advanced scientific methods. My research contributions have been published in respected academic journals, demonstrating my deep understanding of scientific principles and methodology.

Teaching & Mentoring Experience

My passion for education extends beyond the laboratory. At USC, I successfully mentored undergraduate researchers, helping them develop both technical skills and scientific writing abilities. Several students I worked with contributed to published research, a testament to my ability to guide learners through complex material to achieve meaningful outcomes.

Currently, I serve as Executive Editor of Health Matrix: Journal of Law-Medicine, where I work daily with graduate students to strengthen their academic writing and analytical reasoning. This role has refined my ability to provide constructive feedback and help students communicate complex ideas clearly and persuasively.

Debate

Debate

As a current JD student and Executive Editor of Health Matrix: Journal of Law-Medicine at Case Western Reserve University, I bring extensive experience in legal argumentation, research, and persuasive writing that directly translates to debate excellence. My participation on the Health Law Moot Court Team has given me hands-on experience constructing compelling oral arguments, anticipating counterarguments, and presenting complex legal reasoning under pressure—skills that are fundamental to competitive debate. Through my role with Judge Synenberg's Pro Bono Collaborative, I regularly engage in legal advocacy and client counseling, which has strengthened my ability to think quickly on my feet and communicate persuasively to diverse audiences. Additionally, my interdisciplinary background in bioethics provides me with expertise in ethical reasoning and policy analysis, enabling me to help debate students construct well-researched, logically sound arguments across a wide range of contemporary issues from healthcare policy to constitutional law.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

As Executive Editor of Health Matrix: Journal of Law-Medicine at Case Western Reserve University, I work daily with graduate students to strengthen their academic writing, helping them develop clear thesis statements, construct logical arguments, and communicate complex ideas effectively. My dual-degree program in law and bioethics has required me to master diverse writing styles, from legal briefs and case analyses to research papers and policy evaluations, giving me expertise across multiple academic disciplines and formats. Through my research experience, I've contributed to peer-reviewed publications and learned the rigorous process of academic writing, including proper citation methods, evidence integration, and revision strategies that transform rough drafts into polished, publishable work. My multilingual background and experience supporting ESL students through my pro bono legal work has also taught me how to help writers at all levels—from those struggling with basic sentence structure to advanced students refining their scholarly voice—develop the confidence and skills needed for academic and professional success.
Genetics

Genetics

As a published researcher with a Biology degree from Boston College and two years of hands-on laboratory experience at USC's Benayoun Lab, I have deep expertise in genetics from both theoretical and practical perspectives. My research focused on aging and reproductive biology, where I worked extensively with genetic mechanisms underlying ovarian aging and cellular regulation, contributing to peer-reviewed publications that required mastery of complex genetic concepts and experimental design. Through mentoring undergraduate students in advanced genetic research techniques, I've developed effective strategies for explaining challenging topics like gene expression, inheritance patterns, and molecular genetics in ways that make them accessible and memorable. My current bioethics studies further enhance my genetics tutoring by providing insights into the ethical implications of genetic research, gene therapy, and genetic counseling—helping students understand not just how genetics works, but why it matters in medicine, agriculture, and society.
Legal Writing

Legal Writing

As a current JD student and Executive Editor of Health Matrix: Journal of Law-Medicine at Case Western Reserve University, I have extensive daily experience editing and improving legal scholarship, working with law students to strengthen their analytical reasoning, argument structure, and persuasive writing techniques. My participation on the Health Law Moot Court Team has honed my skills in crafting compelling legal briefs and oral arguments, while my work with Judge Synenberg's Pro Bono Collaborative has given me practical experience writing legal documents for real cases involving civil matters, expungements, and family law issues. Through my coursework in advanced legal writing, constitutional law, and healthcare regulation, I've mastered the IRAC method, legal citation (Bluebook format), case analysis, and the art of constructing logical, evidence-based legal arguments that persuade courts and legal audiences. My interdisciplinary background allows me to help students not only with traditional legal writing but also with law school applications, personal statements, and the critical thinking skills that separate strong legal writers from merely competent ones.
