I am a passionate and knowledgeable science tutor with a strong focus on anatomy and physiologyparticularly the brain and its functions. My academic background and hands-on experience have given me a deep understanding of these subjects, which I strive to make accessible and engaging for learners of all ages.

What sets me apart as a tutor is my foundation in counseling. This background has honed my ability to communicate clearly, listen actively, and tailor my approach to meet each student's unique needs and learning style. I believe that learning is most effective when students feel heard, supported, and empowered, and that is the environment I aim to create in every session.

I was deeply inspired by the mentors and tutors who helped me succeed, and I am committed to paying that forward. I see tutoring not only as a chance to teach, but also as an opportunity to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and help others develop a lasting love of learning. I would be honored to bring that mindset to Varsity Tutors.

Hobbies

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy diving into neurology research articles to stay up-to-date on the latest discoveries about the brain and behavior. I’m fascinated by how science continues to evolve and reveal more about human cognition. When I’m not reading, I love building terrariums with foraged plants and natural materials—it’s a relaxing, creative hobby that keeps me connected to nature and encourages mindfulness.
