I graduated with a degree in Biology from Columbia University, where I honed my passion for teaching as a peer tutor for organic chemistry and as a teaching assistant for multiple biology courses. Since graduating in 2015, I have worked in a dermatology clinic as a medical assistant, and am delighted to be starting medical school in the fall. While these seem like two entirely different subjects, I like to think of it this way - science is about understanding the world around us, which we access and make beautiful through literature. My goal in teaching is to foster in my students a fiery curiosity, and enthusiasm for learning and critical thinking, and confidence in asking questions. In my free time, I enjoy making music (I play the piano, flute, and guitar!), visiting art museums, and yoga.
