I am a passionate educator with a Doctorate in Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Molecular Biology from The Pennsylvania State University, where my research focused on the symbiotic relationship between a bioluminescent bacterium and a small squid. I have over 2 years of experience teaching college-level Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, which is my favorite subject to teach. My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating a supportive environment where students feel empowered to tackle challenging concepts and ask questions. I tailor my approach to accommodate diverse learning styles, incorporating real-world examples to make complex material more accessible. Witnessing my students' growth and confidence in their abilities is immensely rewarding and fuels my passion for teaching. In my spare time, I enjoy motorsports, video games, and staying up to date on scientific advancements in my field.
