About
I am a current college junior majoring in Biology. I also have a passion for volunteering and work for nonprofits. For five years, I worked with a horseback riding nonprofit to teach and mentor elementary-school aged children, which also included some help with academic work. Back in high school, I stayed after school on a weekly basis to tutor other students.
I have also volunteered at several nonprofits to assist with grant writing, editing, and fundraising. Academically, I currently work with a professor in the health sciences department who conducts research in epidemiology. I have also contributed to two publications in the genetic engineering field. I hope you will consider my tutoring services!

I love biology, and I really enjoy helping others find interest in it! I have also worked in the nonprofit sector, and working on service projects is fulfilling and rewarding for me.
