Chemist & STEM Tutor
About
My background is in chemical research and product development as a cosmetic chemist and a practical business educator, with a blend of both science and business skills.
In the past, I have taught business economics courses at Lone Star College and have mentored as a college success coach at Houston Community College. I also own a small business (CJH BAKE-Lab, www.cjhbakelab.com ), which incorporates teaching enriching programs of business and science to youth using eclectic food and art projects. I am also certified for teaching business and finance content areas to high-schoolers in the state of Texas, and am passionate about teaching budding entrepreneurs at the collegiate level in both undergraduate and MBA programs. In addition, I am studying towards my Ph.D. in Business Marketing, with a focus in consumer behavior.
I enjoy engaging with students in a way that makes tough disciplines of science and math relatable and easy to comprehend.
