I am a graduate of The University of Phoenix. I have a master of science in psychology, adult learning facilitator/trainer certification, and personal finance counselor certification. As a military veteran, I have had the opportunity to travel the world and meet people across the globe. In my journey, I discovered I have a passion to help others reach their full potential in subjects ranging from psychology and financial literacy to public speaking and health/wellness. My goal is to provide helpful tutoring sessions that are unique to each student. It has been my experience, that once students understand academic subjects tailored to their needs, positive changes can occur which lead to success!

I enjoy tutoring more than any other work I've had, because students come to me with a great desire to do better academically. All teachers need to remember that nobody wants to be left behind in their education. My primary goal is to help students find confidence in private, so they can be more confident in public.

I am a graduate of both Saint Mary’s College of California and Old Dominion University. I received my Bachelor of Science majoring in Biology with a minor in Italian Studies at SMC. I continued my education at ODU and received a Master’s of Science in Biology focusing on molecular and microbiology. During my time at ODU, I taught the bacteriology and microbiology laboratory sessions for 3 years. I truly enjoyed working with students in the laboratory setting and seeing them get their first real hands on experience with subject.After finishing my degree at ODU, I followed my husband (who is in the US Coast Guard) to San Diego, California. Here, I worked as a microbiologist, learning more about the field and the wide variety of organisms that it encompasses. I also had the chance to guest lecture for a local Biotechnology course at San Diego City College. I enjoying showing the students the techniques that were being used within the Biotechnology industry and providing them with real world experiences.After four years in San Diego, I moved to Seattle, Washington when my husband was transferred. Here I worked as a food molecular biologist. Working in this industry further expanded my knowledge of the field of biology and gave me a sense of gratitude for the people who test all of our raw foods before they arrive on the shelves at the grocery store.Three years after arriving in Seattle, I moved once again to Virginia. This time I applied to teach at two local colleges, Tidewater Community College and ECPI-MCI. I have the pleasure to teach General Biology Lab and Lecture at TCC and Microbiology Lecture and Lab at ECPI-MCI.As you can tell, I am most passionate about molecular and microbiology. I do enjoy biochemistry, general biology and marine biology too. I am pretty much a biology nerd. When it comes to my approach with students, I do my best to understand the learning style that works best for them. When I tutor as when I teach, I used a wide variety of tools, visual, audio and text based techniques to help a student learn. I know that not everyone learn things the same why and I do my best to approach subject from different angles.In my spare time, I play with my two kids, enjoy reading the latest novel, make baby quilts and explore the rich history of the area that I live in.
