Experience

I am a recent graduate from the University of Texas in San Antonio, with a Psychology major and a Biology minor. At the university, I was a supplemental instruction leader in Cognitive Psychology and Introductory Psychology courses and it was my responsibility to conduct weekly study sessions for the students. I also have two years of experience as an assistant for a Biophysics and Neurobiology lab. This work provided me with the experience of learning how to communicate complex scientific concepts in a variety of ways. For example, I had to be able to explain the concepts to students in a manner that they would understand and I had to maintain professional language in the field when working with the scientists. Currently, I pursuing my doctorate at the University of Texas in Dallas for Neuroscience. I am also working as a teaching assistant for the university. Science is my passion and I love to share this with my students. I want to help students to understand scientific concepts and to find the same enjoyment in the subject that I have. Most important, I want my students to be able to reach their academic goals. I am able to tutor a variety of subjects, but my favorites are English Composition, Biology, and Psychology. Some of my personal interests are playing and listening to music, video games, reading, and neuroscience.
