I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Virginia and my Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry from the California Institute of Technology. Additionally, I spent several years as a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University studying Biology, with a focus on Genetics, Molecular Biology, and Electrophysiology. I recently moved to Seattle with my husband who is a new professor at the University of Washington. I enjoy teaching and working with students, and up until our recent move to Seattle, I have had the luxury of being surrounded by them while studying or working in various academic environments. Tutoring now provides me with the one-on-one teaching experience that I enjoy so much. My strong background in Chemistry and Biology and my passion for teaching allow me to find just the right way to explain even the most difficult of subjects. In my free time I enjoy getting out for a daily run, hiking in the mountains around Seattle, reading a good book, and sewing.
