I received a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Johns Hopkins University and a Master of Science in Earth and Space Science from the University of Washington. The research I did for my MS degree focused on Geomicrobiology, which combines Geology, Biology and Chemistry. I love thinking about science and learning how the world works. Studying a topic that combined many different sciences allowed me to spend time learning as much as I could about these fun subjects. During graduate school I had the opportunity to teach classes in my department as well as work with high school students in my research lab and I realized that working with students as an instructor and mentor was both exciting and fulfilling. Now that I've finished my degree I want to take the time to find a career where I can continue to work with all kinds of people and see how to pass on a love of learning. I tutor math and several science subjects including Biology, Chemistry and Earth Science. When I'm relaxing I enjoy reading all types of books, fiction and non-fiction. I also love spending time with my friends whether that's sitting down to enjoy a fabulous meal or meeting for a walk around the lake.
