Education
Junior Biochemistry Major at Stony Brook University. GPA: 3.85
Experience
I was an organic chemistry teacher's assistant at Stony Brook University. Additionally, I have worked at two summer schools and have experience with working with younger children. I believe that individualized attention and material tailored for each individual student's strengths and weaknesses are paramount to their success. General test prep or classes usually lacks these qualities. I hope to help students succeed by giving them targeted practice and presenting the material in new ways to deepen their understanding. I scored a composite 2280 on the SAT. 780 Reading, 770 Math, and 730 Writing. I am also strong in the levels of Math I have listed. In addition, I was an AP scholar in high school. I'm currently in the honors program at Stony Brook with a full scholarship and have been on the Dean's list for every semester so far.

Hobbies
I enjoy reading books. Topics that specifically interest me are: how humans operate, productivity, and science. I am currently in an undergraduate research team that is doing work in synthetic biology. Synthetic biology is a new and emerging field. The idea is that you can engineer biological systems to produce desirable products. This can have many advantages over natural systems and provides a dynamic tun-able way to solve some of society's biggest problems. Additionally, in my free time I love to ride my bike and play guitar.
