I am most passionate about subjects that can be applied to human medicine, including Anatomy, Physiology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Pharmacology and Microbiology.

...students in science and math. A true sense of reward comes from teaching young students. Most of my students struggled and were often afraid to say what they thought because of the fear of being wrong. As a tutor and mentor, my role is to create a comfortable learning environment where students focus on how wrong answers help them to arrive at the right answer. I always told my students that I am open to...

...enjoy being a student as much as I enjoy being a teacher. I believe that learning should be fun. When I'm not studying or teaching I can be found outside in this great Northwest, hiking, running, or exploring. I also enjoy quite time in my home where I live with my dog and my pet rabbits. I enjoy reading, fixing up the house, gardening, and playing music on my guitars, piano, and saxophone.... Learning should be...

...me the small spark of passion towards bettering education for others was that moment when my friend finally connected the dots between the concepts and gained a sense of confidence at the end. I had to use all sorts of methods: drawing cartoons, wildly gesturing (even though we were in a library) and coming up with all sorts of analogies. I remember being pretty drained from squeezing out all my energy to help my friend...

Part of my effectiveness as an instructor is my ability to relate scientific concepts with everyday concepts students are...

Outside of studying and tutoring, I enjoy reading, cooking, photography, writing, sketching, and the beach. My favorite food is...

...I was six and have yet to stop. Apart from academia, I attempt to go outside, but I enjoy the comfort of my own home with books and tea and blankets. But when I do leave the house, I enjoy going rock climbing, walking aimlessly through parks, and trying out new restaurants. If I had a more fuel efficient car, I would spend a good deal of time going on road trips. I have also...
