I received a B.S. in environmental sciences from the University of Virginia in 2012, after which I spent a year serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer in rural Colorado working as the coordinator for an environmental restoration project. I completed my MS in geology at Temple University in 2015, and then spent a year working in the environmental consulting industry as a hydrogeologist in New Jersey. As a graduate student, I taught college-level laboratory courses in introductory geology, hydrology, and nanotechnology. Because of my academic and professional background in the earth sciences, I am particularly excited to tutor students enrolled in earth science-related courses, such as high school earth science, AP Environmental Science, introductory geology, and hydrology. However, I am also happy to tutor students in chemistry, in which I have a strong academic background, and general physical sciences. I also have extensive technical writing experience and have graded college-level lab reports, so I am happy to assist students who would like to improve their writing skills. As a teacher, I like to focus on a student's approach to problems in a given subject rather on specific types of problems. I believe that success in academia rests in a student's ability to think clearly about the problems with which he or she is faced and to devise appropriate strategies to tackling those problems; thus, in tutoring sessions, I like to focus on thought process rather on specific types of problems. In my spare time, I enjoy writing music on guitar and piano, reading fiction in English, Spanish, and French, jogging, and spending time with my 3 cats. I am also an avid listener of NPR and Radio France.
