As an undergraduate at Yale University pursuing a combined BS/MS degree in Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry on the pre-medical track, I have cultivated a strong foundation in the sciences through rigorous coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. My academic journey has been complemented by hands-on research in two Yale laboratories: the Hochstrasser Lab, where I explored protein degradation pathways using yeast and Drosophila models, and the Gopal Lab, where I investigated protein interactions in neurodegenerative diseases using mouse brain models. These experiences have deepened my scientific knowledge and honed my ability to communicate complex concepts effectively—skills I regularly apply in tutoring and mentoring roles.
My teaching experience spans both formal and informal contexts. I currently tutor students in elementary through high school mathematics via Varsity Tutors’ online platform, where I tailor each session to students' individual learning styles and needs. I also volunteer with Ivyonaire, offering guidance on college admissions and essay writing. Additionally, I serve as a moderator for the Yale Education Tutoring Initiative and as a Yale Pre-Frosh Advisor and Student Ambassador, roles that involve mentoring prospective students and presenting educational information clearly and supportively. Whether one-on-one or in small virtual group settings, my teaching approach is centered on patience, empathy, and building students' confidence through clarity and consistent encouragement.
