About Me

Currently, I am a practicing dentist and have a Masters in Biomedical Sciences from Midwestern University, a B.S. in Microbial Biotechnology, a B.A. in English, and a minor in Biochemistry from Rutgers University-New Brunswick. In my previous professional background, I have worked as a research scientist at Rutgers University continuing studies from my undergraduate Honors Thesis on Hyperthermophilic bacteria's ability to use alternate carbon sources as an alternative to their primary energy source. As a medical researcher at Mt. Sinai Medical School and Hospital, I worked in the Nephrology department on elucidating the mechanism of DNA/RNA pores in kidney cells. As an undergraduate at Rutgers University, I became involved in the Rutgers Learning Center, where I tutored fellow students in biological sciences. I enjoyed working with the students in helping them to understand challenging concepts, problem-solving skills, and find academic success. Also, I was a Teaching Assistant for a summer chemistry program at the university, which allowed me the opportunity to work closely with both the students and the faculty. Upon graduation, I have been a private tutor while also taking continuing education classes in various biological sciences to keep up with new concepts and technologies. I am very qualified and would be an asset to your student because of my industry work experience and experience as a private tutor and teaching assistant for the Rutgers University Learning Center. I enjoy tutoring students from all cultures by helping them build confidence in their ability to achieve academically. I have familiarity with various science resources that can be employed in tutoring sessions to aid in the student's different learning styles. I have always maintained a good rapport with my colleagues, students, and parents. In addition, I feel my diverse background and skillset enable me to draw upon various resources to help aid in the learning process.
