Certified Tutor

I am a recent college graduate holding a degree in molecular biology, and I am currently applying to graduate programs in conservation biology and ecology. I've had lots of cool jobs, from zookeeper, to baker's assistant, to farm hand! So, there are plenty of fun stories to be told when you need a study break. I am a recent Student Conservation Association Alum and I'm happy to discuss careers and opportunities in the environmental field with interested students. Teaching is a newfound passion of mine and I'm excited to get to know you and help you along on your learning journey!

As a note, I am especially interested in helping students develop their library research and writing skills. I am happy to assist with essay, technical, or creative writing. These skills are crucial and 100% learnable, so let's get there together.
