About Me

I am a graduate of The University of Central Florida (UCF). I received a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology & Microbiology as well as a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a focus on Neuroscience. My tutoring experience started in college as a teaching assistant, both in English and Spanish for the Biology Department. As a teaching assistant, I tutored students one-on-one, cultivated student interaction via study groups, encouraged critical thinking and trained students on the improvement of study skills. Later, I was awarded the NSF Graduate Teaching Fellowship in K-12 Education where I taught science learning to middle school students, in the community, by developing laboratory experiments that would encourage critical thinking via the inquiry method. After graduation, as a Scientific Research Assistant, my research focused on Neuroscience, specifically the central & peripheral nervous system. As a researcher, I published my research in peer reviewed journals and presented at many scientific conferences in order to effectively communicate my research findings to the world.
