Hi! I’m a registered nurse with four years of critical care experience and a graduate of Carson-Newman University. I hold my Critical Care Registered Nurse (CCRN) certification and am currently pursuing my doctorate in nurse anesthesia. Throughout my nursing career, I served as an ICU Team Leader at Methodist Medical Center and worked as a Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) nurse and ECMO specialist at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. These roles required an advanced understanding of human anatomy, physiology, biology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology, allowing me to apply complex scientific principles in high-pressure clinical situations.
My professional and academic experiences have taught me that truly understanding a subject is far more valuable than simply memorizing information. I enjoy breaking down challenging concepts into clear, manageable explanations and helping others understand the reasoning behind them. My approach emphasizes active recall, practice questions, visual learning, and real-world applications to strengthen comprehension and long-term retention. My clinical leadership experience has also helped me develop the communication skills, patience, and adaptability needed to explain complicated information effectively.
I am passionate about helping high school and college students succeed in biology, human anatomy, physiology, and other foundational sciences. I also welcome nursing and pre-health students who want to strengthen their understanding of medical concepts. Whether you’re preparing for a major exam, struggling with difficult coursework, or simply looking to build confidence in science, I’ll tailor our sessions to your individual learning needs. My goal is to help you not only improve your grades but develop a genuine understanding of the material that stays with you long after the exam.
