Recently completing the Cellular and Molecular Biology (major) and Psychology (minor) portions of my double-major B.Sc. degree from the Faculty of Science and Technology at Mount Royal University, I have now entered my final year of undergraduate study, wherein the Chemistry (major) component of my double degree will be completed. Understanding the intersectional nature of various scientific fields, a multi-faceted degree brings about multi-faceted teaching opportunities. That is, having had the privilege to learn concepts in all major scientific disciplines over the course of the past ~5 years, both in the laboratory and in the classroom, I have acquired a unique scientific perspective, one which is based in understanding molecular interactions from every possible angle. I have experience in and passion for biochemistry (protein, lipid, pharmacological, enzymatic), molecular biology (cell dynamics/signaling, molecular genetics, genomes/bioinformatics, neuroscience), physics (classical mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics & radiation, quantum mechanics, biophysics), chemistry (physical, organic, inorganic, computational, quantitative, nuclear), and mathematics (algebra, trigonometry, calculus (single/multi-variable), statistics, linear algebra). Importantly, I have found distinct passion for molecular dynamics, supplemented by my passion for science. Guided by my love for science and academia in general, I have found great pleasure in participating in group study sessions, effectively resembling small groups of students "tutoring" one another. In fact, one of my most notable university experiences to date was my active participation in a genomic conference presentation, prepared in a collaborative environment. Throughout the majority of my undergraduate training, I have been working at a Canadian bookstore, where I've found a suitable outlet to engage audiences across all generations, from little kids to elderly folks. Inclusivity is the key to accessibility, much like understanding is the key to effectively learning information, especially when that information is scientific in nature. As such, my personal philosophy when it comes to learning is the same as my personal philosophy when it comes to teaching - the most effective way to understand any concept involves asking questions, a process which is characteristically associated with thought-provoking discussions. It is the involvement in these scientific discussions which allows students the ability to gain a sense of self-confidence regarding the concept at hand. That is, drawing from external concepts and "big picture" analogies, supplementing the traditional workflow with excitement has become something of a forte for my teaching methodology, especially in recent years. The power of the human mind is something of beauty, and is certainly realized via education; as such, my synergistic approach for teaching any academic discipline involves interest and understanding, just as much as it does learning and comprehension. Multi-faceted and engaging presentation of exciting scientific discoveries will most certainly complement the likelihood of success in any given discipline, a fact which principally guides my methodology to this day!

Hobbies

Some of my favourite extracurricular activities unrelated to science include various manifestations of artistic expression (acrylic painting, clay sculpting, resin casting), as well as a notably recent passion for 3D printing and design. Advanced organic synthesis was one of my favorite chemistry courses, majorly due to the laboratory component; as such, equipped with some of my own organic chemistry glassware, I enjoy growing crystals of varying chemical compositions every now and again. I played soccer for 16 years, and it is still my favorite sport both to play and to watch! Most recently, I have been learning the ropes for a graphic design program, ZBrush, for the purpose of 3D voxel-based sculpting and design.
