Biography

I recently graduated from Penn State University in May of 2020 with a degree in Biology. I am currently seeking an entry level job as a Lab Technician/Assistant, but would still like to continue producing videos in my free time as well. I am also familiar with information taught in subjects such as general chemistry, organic chemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, physics, and calculus, among others.

Although I do not possess a substantial amount of prior teaching experience, I am still familiar with the material, as well as recent discoveries in Biology that either build upon, or disprove previous information. During my junior and senior year, I was responsible for finding and interpreting research papers, as well as explaining them to my class. As a result, I gained more confidence in public speaking, and learned to simplify complex information. I also discovered the most effective ways to find important information in text without wasting time reading through unnecessary information that is irrelevant to the overall message.
