Wyzant Tutor

As a teaching assistant for my high school's Biotechnology class, I create practice problem sets, help student with their work, answer any questions they have, and work students through difficult problems and unfamiliar experiments.

Teaching Assistant

I assisted neuroendocrinology researcher Dr. Kimberly Jennings at the de Lecea lab in studying the role of the neuropeptide hypocretin in animal wakefulness and motivation. I was in charge of analyzing the lab's DNA samples all summer, learned to perform ovariectomies and profusions on mice, used an electron microscope, genotyped DNA samples through gel electrophoresis and polymerase chain reaction, made electrodes for optogenetic studies, sliced tissue using a cryostat, and conducted behavioral analyses on transgenic mice. In addition, I arranged, cleaned, and organized the equipment and chemicals shelves.

Research Assistant

I tutored at the San Jose Public Library two hours every week, helping children ages 5-10 in math, English, reading, and science. I worked with one child one-on-one during each session and often helped Spanish-speaking elementary schoolers with English, monitored children during their free time, settled disputes between children, and discussed each child's progress with parents. Every session, I also read children's books to the younger kids and helped older children pick out books from the library for the week.
