Experience Summary
As a Forensic Chemistry graduate with a minor in criminal justice, I have a fast array of experience. I have worked in accredited laboratories and have helped to process real crime scenes and evidence. I have extensive report writing, grammatical, and procedural development skills due to my education and the positions I held. During my education, I worked as a work study assistant and lab assistant where I helped to instruct students in a laboratory setting and, on occasion, taught classes in the teachers absence. I also tutored students upon direct request of the chemistry or forensic instructors.
Teaching Style
I love finding out how exactly students learn and being able to make learning an enjoyable experience for them. I think that it is not enough to help students learn; they should be taught how to learn. I am a strong believer in learning concepts before applying them to situations. I am a very visual teacher, utilizing props, graphs, drawings and other useful tools to impress the subject matter on students. I also believe in the "see one, do one, teach one" method. By the end of my instruction, students are not only able to complete the problems, but are able to walk through them and "teach" me how to do them. A person will have many teachers in their lifetime, but few of them will be educators.
