I have done research in the field of freshwater ecology and am anticipating the publication of a paper I co-authored in the next several months.

As a camp counselor and neuroscience researcher, I have worked with infants and children from 2 months to 13 years of age. I take the time to help my students find the best learning style for them and tailor my teaching approach accordingly. I work...

I am currently an undergraduate student at Wesleyan University and am majoring in molecular biology and biochemistry. At Wesleyan, I've been a member of the Science Outreach program, where we teach scientific concepts to students at local elementary schools.

...they have not come easily to me always. I know that Chemistry can have a particularly sharp learning curve for students and I worked through that myself, developing study and problem solving techniques that eventually led me to score a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam. History also requires a lot of time and effort, especially with memorization, synthesis, and learning how to craft an argument for historical writing. Given my own experiences with academics...

Additionally, I invested substantial amounts of time preparing for the SAT and many...

One can often find me at Clark Park or Walnut Greens trying to shoot for par or die trying. I have been tutoring for the last one and a half years and I absolutely love it. I am a national-circuit debater who places a strong value on communication. I enjoy...
