Private tutor in Oakland, CA
Education
2013 UC Berkeley - PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology (Division of Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Structural Biology) 2007 UC Davis - BS in Biological Sciences (emphasis in Molecular and Cellular Biology), Minor in Mathematics
Experience
Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) at UC Berkeley GSI for Biochemistry Lab (110L) - wrote questions for class test bank GSI for Biophysical Chemistry (C100A) Recognized with an Outstanding GSI Award (awarded to top performing GSIs by students and faculty) Having been raised by teachers (both maternal grandparents and my mother), the patience, discipline, and enthusiasm to teach others comes naturally to me. Reliable, experienced mentors provided the support that I needed during my scientific training, and I hope offer the same for aspiring young students in the life sciences. I look forward to the opportunity to work with motivated students who want to learn and just need focused guidance and attention to reach their full potential.

Hobbies
I love to learning new things. I am currently teaching myself to bake artisanal sourdough breads, make ice cream, and have taken a keen interest in personal finance. I enjoy running, hiking, camping, backpacking and exploring/traveling the world. I also like to drive and work on my car, participating in amateur-level racing events when I can afford to. When I get a chance I enjoy rebuilding vintage bicycles. My full-time job is as an Early Discovery Research Scientist in a local Pharmaceutical/Biotech Company.
