I recently graduated with a BA in neuroscience from Carthage College. During college, I worked as a lab assistant helping students design, execute, and analyze research projects. Since graduation I have been working towards becoming a medical student. I enjoy tutoring to bring clarity to seemingly complex concepts.

You see, critical-thinking is the pathway to engaged learning.
