About Severin


Bio

I have a broad and in-depth academic background in environmental and natural sciences, with strong experience in data analysis and quantitative methods. I hold a BA in Environmental Studies and a BS in Biology (minor in Chemistry) from the University of Pittsburgh, as well as an MS in Sustainability Science from Columbia University. I also completed two and a half years of doctoral coursework and research in Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences at Washington State University.

I have a broad and in-depth academic background in environmental and natural sciences, with strong experience in data analysis and quantitative methods. I hold a BA in Environmental Studies and a BS in Biology (minor in Chemistry) from the University of Pittsburgh, as well as an MS in Sustainability Science from Columbia University. I also completed two and a half years of doctoral coursework and research in Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences at Washington State University.

My academic training spans biology, ecology, earth science, hydrology, and environmental policy, with applied experience in GIS, remote sensing, statistics, and R programming. I have worked extensively with real-world datasets and enjoy helping students build both conceptual understanding and practical skills.

I bring substantial teaching experience at multiple levels. I have tutored middle-school math, worked as a high-school substitute teacher, and served as a graduate teaching assistant for GIS, hydrology, and forest management courses at Columbia University and Washington State University. I focus on clear explanations, patience, and helping students gain confidence in challenging material.

Approved Subjects

Earth Science

Earth Science

I have doctoral-level training in Earth and Environmental Science, with extensive experience in climate science, ecology, and environmental systems. My background includes advanced coursework, PhD-level research, and applied work with real environmental datasets through NASA-related projects. I specialize in breaking down complex Earth science concepts into clear, intuitive explanations and helping students build confidence in both theory and practical problem-solving. I have experience supporting students across high school, undergraduate, and early graduate coursework.
Environmental Science

Environmental Science

I have doctoral-level training in environmental and natural resource sciences, with a strong foundation in climate change, ecology, environmental justice, and sustainability. My background includes applied research using real-world environmental data, as well as experience translating complex scientific concepts into clear, accessible explanations. I enjoy helping students understand how environmental systems work and how science connects to policy, communities, and everyday decision-making. I support high school and undergraduate students with coursework, exams, projects, and building confidence in environmental science.
GIS

GIS

I have advanced training in GIS and geospatial analysis through doctoral-level research in environmental and natural resource sciences. My experience includes spatial data analysis, raster and vector workflows, coordinate reference systems, spatial statistics, and map production using tools such as QGIS, R, and Google Earth Engine. I regularly work with satellite imagery, climate datasets, land-cover data, and spatial modeling for applied research and decision-support projects. I focus on helping students understand both the technical tools and the underlying spatial concepts so they can confidently apply GIS to real-world problems.
