Experience
SAT: Math - 770, Reading - 620, Writing - 660 AP AB Calculus: 5 AP Biology: 5 AP Chemistry: 4 AP Macroeconomics: 4 AP US History: 4 I have extensive tutoring experience with students from grades 4 through 8 in math and sciences. I volunteered at a Boys and Girls Club in Boston for all four of my undergraduate years and have also volunteered at some elementary schools in Kansas City. I have loved my tutoring experience and enjoyed teaching students a variety of math and science concepts. I performed very well on the math section of standardized tests like the SAT and would love to help anyone looking to improve their math score or struggling with these problems. The math courses that I took in high school were Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Precalculus, and AP AB Calculus. My high school science courses were Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Microbiology, Anatomy & Physiology, AP Biology, and AP Chemistry. At Boston College I took Calculus II, Statistics, Evolutionary Biology, Ecology, Inorganic Chemistry with lab, Organic Chemistry with lab, Physics, Introduction to Neurology, Biochemistry, Biological Research Lab, Plant Biology, Human Physiology, Cell Biology, Toxicology, Genetics & Genomics, and Genomics & Personalized Medicine. In my master's degree program I took Genetics, Physiology with lab, Biochemistry, Human Anatomy and Cadaver Lab, Biomedical Ethics, Immunology, Microbiology, and Epidemiology. In addition to my academic background in math and sciences, I have extensive experience in biomedical research. I worked for two summers of my undergraduate career for a geneticist and had my research published in the Journal of Genetics. I also had an internship one summer in the Department of Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Therapeutics. I worked in a lab that primarily focused on understanding the regenerative abilities of the liver and the relationship of this process to liver cancer. This past school year I worked with a clinical research neurologist on a project investigating the role of the basal ganglia in primary focal dystonia. I was primarily in charge of running the P50 EEG portion of the study and assisting with the C-flumazenil PET scanning.
