Outside of academia, I enjoy playing music (guitar and drums), and although I listen to all kinds of music, I primarily enjoy playing blues, jazz, and rock. I also like to read (I was definitely a bookworm as a child)...

...recent UCSD graduate with a degree in Human Biology and a minor in Health Care and Social Issues. Although Biology and the sciences are my specialty, I also enjoy teaching math and general test prep. I'm an outgoing, approachable person and capable of making learning enjoyable and efficient!

In addition to academic subjects, I...
