About Me

Hello! I'm an Iowa native who moved to Nashville for graduate school. My background is in the life sciences; I have a Masters from Vanderbilt in Chemical and Physical Biology, and my undergraduate degree is in Biochemistry. However, my education has been well rounded and I have interests in philosophy, literature, writing, and history. I have extensive research experience, and I hope to share my passion for science with students. I have experience mentoring undergraduate students during my graduate school education to help them gain research experience. I am a very patient teacher and have the ability to see problems from the students perspective; my tutoring style adapts to each student's individual needs, but centers on getting each student to come to their solutions rather than following any one formula for success. I have a lot of experience with standardized testing, and have taken multiple AP subject tests in addition to the ACT, SAT, and GRE examinations. In my free time, I like to play and coach Ultimate Frisbee. I coached the Vanderbilt men's team for three years and am currently leading a club team representing Nashville that travels throughout the southeast to compete. These experiences have helped me develop the leadership, discipline, interpersonal and educational skills that are so valuable for tutoring.
