Hello! My name is Joelle, and I am a Registered Nurse, college biology instructor, and Family Nurse Practitioner student with a passion for helping students build confidence and succeed in challenging science and healthcare courses.
My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Baylor University, a Master of Science in Medical Sciences from the University of North Texas Health Science Center, and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Concordia University Texas. I currently work as a Registered Nurse and am pursuing my Family Nurse Practitioner degree. In addition to my clinical experience, I have been teaching biology and Anatomy & Physiology at the college level since 2022. I have also taught high school chemistry and have extensive experience explaining complex scientific concepts to students with a wide range of learning styles and academic backgrounds.
My teaching philosophy focuses on understanding rather than memorization. Whether I am helping a nursing student master pathophysiology, an Anatomy & Physiology student prepare for an exam, or a pre-nursing student strengthen foundational science knowledge, I work to identify knowledge gaps and tailor lessons to each student's individual needs. I use real-world examples, practice questions, visual learning techniques, and active recall strategies to help students retain information and improve critical thinking skills.
I have experience teaching students in classroom, laboratory, clinical, and one-on-one settings. My areas of expertise include nursing, Anatomy & Physiology, biology, pathophysiology, chemistry, and pre-nursing coursework. I understand how overwhelming these subjects can feel, and my goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and developing confidence in their abilities.
I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals and discover that science and nursing can be both understandable and enjoyable.
