Fun Facts
I have been a scientist for the last five years of my undergraduate career doing professional research on gecko physiology.
My passion for science branches from a lifelong fascination of reptiles (lizards, snakes, crocodiles, turtles). I have six pet lizards.
I have traveled as far north as Alaska, and as far south as Ecuador in South America while searching and understanding the ways a community of life functions in different environments.
About Me
I am 23 years old, and am currently an exotic animal caretaker/educator at Wildlife Learning Center. On days that I'm not available, I'm tending to 50 species of animals like monkeys, porcupines, pythons, etc. I joined Frog Tutoring because I enjoy education, and I feel that there is no better way to support the sciences than teaching others about it. I graduated from Cal State University, Northridge in May 2015 with my B.S. in Biology with an option of Ecology and Evolution (Dean's List 2014).
Experience
I have almost two years of various styles of education, mostly tutoring within a full class. I have also taught one on one, which is my favorite because its easy to tailor your teaching style for one person, rather than a group. I also spent my last semester of college leading a class centered on Biological Principles 1, a class for science majors.
Approach
In my years as an educator, also as a tour guide, I have learned that the only way to keep people focused is to make sure they are happy while learning. I always try to bring in interesting fun facts, and a handful of science jokes to keep a subject interesting. Happy learners remember information well past whatever test their peers are cramming for.
