About Me

I received my college education in three different states, providing me with a variety of learning experiences. Most recently, I completed my PhD in cellular and molecular medicine. I had the opportunity to be part of a unique PhD program in which I studied at the University of Arizona, but did my research at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD.My tutoring experience is broad and I have experience tutoring children as young as 8 and adults as old as 40. I have tutored multiple subjects but my favorites include science, reading, and writing. I have always had a passion for knowledge and I enjoy sharing that with others. I like to tailor my tutoring style to each individual student. We all learn differently and we are all motivated differently. Some students need help memorizing material while others need help learning how to focus and be efficient. I believe it is my job as a tutor to find the best method for each individual. Besides creating scientific experiments and sharing my love for knowledge, I really enjoy being outdoors. I am involved in team sports. Most recently I was on a womens flag football team, which I enjoyed immensely. I also devote time to mentoring elementary-age children with behavioral problems.
