Summary
I’m a dedicated biologist with a knack for making science engaging and relatable. I have years of
experience teaching biology, conducting research, and designing laboratory activities that bring
scientific concepts to life. With advanced degrees in biology and chemistry, I enjoy exploring
how life works at every level—from the tiniest cells to complex ecosystems. My mission is to
inspire curiosity and help people understand how biology connects to their everyday lives.
Whether in the classroom or the lab, I strive to create meaningful learning experiences that leave
a lasting impact.
