In 2014, I graduated cum laude from Portland State University with a Biology degree focused on Molecular Biology & Microbiology, and a Math minor. For two years after graduation I worked as a Research Assistant at Oregon Health & Science University in a Drosophila neurobiology research lab before moving to Houston, Texas to pursue a PhD in Molecular & Cellular Biology at Baylor College of Medicine.

I'm most knowledgeable about Molecular & Cell Biology, specifically DNA structure and packaging, and gene expression, but I'm also great with general biological concepts. Microbiology, genetics, ecology, evolution, zoology, botany...they all excite me! And I can help with your math homework!

My tutoring experience comes from studying with classmates, mostly, and trying to help each other fully understand the given concepts. I find that when you're struggling to grasp a new concept, the best way to learn is to be exposed to as many different perspectives as possible. If one attempt is unsuccessful, look at it in a new way until the material sticks.

Outside of school and science, I enjoy cycling, gardening, hiking, SCUBA, and cooking.
