About Me

I found my passion for teaching students about a year ago and have loved it ever since. I have experience teaching and tutoring general chemistry and organic chemistry at Arizona State University (I do practice better lab safety than what my photo would suggest). However, I do have a solid foundation within the fields of biochemistry and biology courses. I enjoy all sciences and really enjoy helping students find their passion for the sciences. I strongly believe in the student finding the answers to their own questions with the help of a few guiding questions I ask. However, I am able to adapt to any learning style in order to benefit the student. I started my academic career at Arizona State University three years ago. I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Health Sciences with a minor in Spanish and another minor in Nutrition and Healthy Living. I hope to attend medical school after I graduate and become a physician of some sort. I currently hold an officer position in the American Medical Student Association at ASU and currently work as an organic chemistry instructional aide (similar to a TA). I am currently conducting research for my Barrett Honors thesis on the effects of the hunger hormone ghrelin and its effects on metabolic demands and body composition. I am very fortunate to be able to have my own research study as an undergrad and am very passionate about this field of study. On a more personal note, I am a big Star Wars fan and love everything about it. I enjoy outdoor recreational activities such as camping, hiking, and recreational shooting. Pretty much, anything outdoors I am all for it (except rock climbing, I don't do heights). I look forward to meeting all sorts of students and helping them succeed in their own academic endeavors.
