I’ve been on track to become a scientist from a very young age. I received my first microscope when I was 5, and my first telescope at age 8. I attended a science magnet high school, where I not only specialized in biotechnology, but also received an international baccalaureate diploma. I continued my education studying biotechnology at JMU, where I also made significant contributions to a research lab, and attended a national conference to present my research. I then worked in various research labs across the Piedmont VA/NC region.
Eventually, I returned to school, and enrolled in a graduate program in nanoscience at UNCG. I graduated from there in May 2020, and worked temporarily in a research lab at NCA&T exploring heat and cold tolerances in leafy green plants. I’ve tutored classmates along the way, as well as through a tutoring service. I’m most comfortable teaching biology/biotech. But I also have experience in chemistry, biochemistry, math, and physics.
My degrees have given me a well rounded education across all the STEM subjects. I also have a wide range of job history in laboratories. As a tutor, I’ve been told that I’m patient and good at reframing ideas in new ways to make them easier to understand.
