Biography

I have worked as a trained writing tutor for the past two years at Cornell, where I have assisted students from across departments, majors, and degree levels (including many STEM students’ theses and reports). I also TA’d for a class on evolution, and even though I am not majored in biology it is a field I love. I also have extensive experience tutoring physics and chemistry from high school.
