Teaching is my passion. When I am not tutoring for Varsity Tutors, I work in medical research. I love the idea of helping patients feel better and especially kids. If I had to say something about my outlook, it is that I am thankful for what I do, privileged to be part of so many lives, and hopeful that my skills will make a difference.

Hello! I turned my lifelong curiosity into a 15 year career teaching biology, chemistry, neurobiology, zoology, AP environmental science, and science ethics. I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm for learning with you!
