I've been teaching and doing research at Texas A&M University for over a decade. Since earning a Ph.D. in 1999, I've taught several Biology courses including Microbiology, Molecular Cell Biology, and Introductory Biology at Texas A&M and Blinn College. The classes I've taught have ranged from small groups of twenty students to lectures of more than 300 students. I've also mentored over a dozen students at a one-to-one level in independent research laboratory work. From the wide diversity of these students, I've learned that each student comes from a different background and level of understanding. Through years of experience I've learned to try different approaches towards communicating the class material and concepts. Some general learning techniques are effective for everyone, and personalized methods can be even more effective and motivating. I have a Ph.D. in Molecular Ce

My preferred method of teaching is hands-on, through real experiments. Unfortunately, experiments cannot always be done, so I use lots of illustrations and age-appropriate analogies that are easy to relate to. Many times students are convinced that science is a subject too difficult to conquer, that they must just survive it, but science is all around us. I strive for that "a-ha" moment when a student realizes that all biological and physiological processes are interrelated and that the trick to understanding science is to build on previously learned concepts. I believe that teaching solid fundamentals and relating more difficult topics to already learned information is key to helping students thoroughly understand the subject. Throughout my undergraduate years, I was recognized as an outstanding student and held the maximum number of teaching assistant positions every semester. I o

I believe in good education and have personally witnessed the value and power a great teacher can impact on a student, and I want as many people as possible to experience educational success. As a college graduate, I have a fervent passion for teaching and mentoring. Earning a B.S. in Chemistry and a minor in Mathematics has given me a valuable understanding of math and science. I also have numerous experiences teaching, mentoring, and chemistry research. I have been employed by several tutoring initiatives for students on universit
