Having worked as both a chemistry tutor in a STEM lab and a teaching assistant for Chemistry 1046, I've guided students through challenging coursework ranging from general and organic chemistry to advanced problem-solving in labs. I am currently expanding my expertise in biochemistry (BMB 401), giving me a strong foundation across the entire chemistry curriculum. What sets me apart as a tutor is my ability to make difficult concepts clear and approachable. I have consistently helped students raise their grades, strengthen their study habits, and build the confidence needed to succeed independently. My background in teaching diverse learners has equipped me to quickly identify where a student struggles and create tailored strategies that turn weaknesses into strengths. I take pride in not only helping students master the material, but also in making science engaging and rewarding. My proven track record, combined with patience, adaptability, and a supportive approach, ensures that students I work with don't just improve their gradesthey discover a genuine confidence in their ability to learn.

Outside of academics, I enjoy playing piano, exploring new areas of science, and engaging in problem-solving activities such as puzzles and strategy games. I also value writing and reflection as creative outlets, and I enjoy mentoring others both inside and outside the classroom. In my free time, I love spending time with friends and family, creating meaningful experiences, and finding new opportunities for growth and learning.
