Fun Facts
When I was nine, I met and took a photograph with Nobel Prize winner, Francis Crick after he gave a presentation on how he helped discover DNA! Aside from school and lab, I love taking yoga classes and hope one day to master inversions. My favorite colors are pink and green or anything with Hello Kitty (I even have Hello Kitty sunglasses).
About Me
I am in the process of taking the final requirements so I can apply to PhD programs in plant biology. I worked with renowned historians including Dr. Koenker and the first endowed chair of Brazilian History, Dr. Davila. I earned a Master's Degree in History (with an emphasis on Public Health in Latin American and Russia) from the University of Illinois Urbana-Chmpaign. I hope to attend either UCLA or UCD for my PhD. My ultimate goal is to share my love of science as a professor.
Experience
When I was in college I tutored elementary school children in a poverty stricken area. When I finished college and entered into graduate school, I gave presentations and planned classes. Upon going back to school I realized I miss working with students and making a difference in the lives of my students!
Approach
I believe that learning should be fun even if it is challenging. My favorite teachers have been those whose passion for teaching and comes through making even the difficult topics fun and interesting. As a tutor, I hope to bring the subjects alive and encourage my students to want to learn. Not only do I teach them content, but I also have extensive knowledge of study skills to help students become better students all around.
