I hold a Ph.D. in Cancer Biology from Tulane University and have over a decade of experience in mentoring students. Throughout my academic career, I have worked at leading research institutions, including Washington University in St. Louis, MD Anderson Cancer Center and Baylor College of Medicine. My expertise includes biology, genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, immunology, cancer biology, genomics, and scientific writing. I have authored numerous peer-reviewed research and review articles in leading scientific journals.

If you’ve ever felt that biology is all about memorization, I’m here to change that. I specialize in making complex topics simple and easy to understand using visuals, analogies, and everyday life examples that help students remember concepts naturally instead of memorizing endless facts. Over the years, I have mentored undergraduate students, graduate students, research trainees, and junior scientists in one-on-one and laboratory settings. I have mentored students in mastering complex biology concepts, excelling in challenging coursework, preparing scientific presentations and developing effective scientific writing skills.

My lessons are interactive, personalized and tailored to each student’s goals whether you’re preparing for an exam, trying to improve your grades, strengthening your foundation in biology, or seeking guidance for research or graduate studies. I create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning at their own pace. My goal is not only to help you succeed academically but also to build your confidence and show you that biology can be logical, engaging, and enjoyable.
