...how different concepts come together rather than give them one answer to memorize. I use diagrams and pictures to really emphasize the importance of visual learning.

...It seemed only logical that I should pursue a career as a biologist or chemist and perhaps become a researcher. When I began my undergraduate career at the University of Scranton, I was blessed with many opportunities to learn biology so I decided to major in it.
