Experience Summary
I hold a B.S. degree in Molecular Biology with a minor in Biochemistry, and an M.S. in Human Cytogenetics with my thesis project conducted in the area of apoptotic signal transduction.
My twelve years of experience encompasses both clinical science and research science settings managing lab projects, maintaining records, analyzing and presenting data, developing and troubleshooting assays, and writing protocols/procedures. In addition, I have taught science techniques to undergraduate, graduate, and medical students who rotate though the lab. I also have one year of traditional classroom teaching experience at the college level.
Teaching Style
I love science and because I am excited about science, students I have taught previously have enjoyed the subject as well. And if I can assist them in understanding the material, they will be empowered to become problem solvers. I have an easy going personality which makes me approachable to students. My teaching mantra is "There are no stupid questions". I enjoy helping children and young adults succeed in their classes because as a result, they will have a positive influence in society. I believe that fostering scientific skills in students will lead them to generate solutions to the various problems that face humankind.
