As a dedicated educator with a Ph.D. in Food Science from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, I bring over five years of tutoring and teaching experience across a diverse range of subjects, including AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and Biostatistics. I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel empowered to explore complex concepts through hands-on learning and collaborative problem-solving. My passion for teaching stems from the joy I find in witnessing students achieve those "aha!" moments, which motivates me to continually adapt my methods to ensure their success. Outside of academia, I enjoy engaging with my artistic and crafty side, particularly theater, which enriches my teaching style and fosters creativity in the classroom!
