I graduated from the University of Mount Union with a Bachelors of Science with a major in Biology and Chemistry, also a minor in economics and art. I then earned my PhD at Vanderbilt University in Microbiology. Now I work as a research professor at Harvard University's Rowland Institute. I have a passion for science and really enjoy helping others understand it. I tutor in biology, chemistry, math, and art. The last one is because I am a visual learner and have had a lifetime of learning to illustrate complex ideas into something understandable. I can touter for GRE and GRE Biology subject tests. I like to use inquiry based learning strategies to help students discover the answers they are looking for; just like scientists do everyday. In addition to being passionate about science and science education I really enjoy traveling, cooking (and eating), reading books, singing, hanging outwit my family, and-of course-drawing.
