Genetics & Neuroscience | Scientific Writing | Data Science | Programming & Bioinformatics

I help students connect genetics and neuroscience concepts with clear scientific explanations, stronger research questions, and reproducible analysis. My highest completed degree is a UC San Diego BS in Molecular Biology and Cognitive Science with a Neuroscience specialization. My UCLA neuroscience graduate coursework and research began in September 2023; no graduate degree has been awarded. My experience includes UCSF functional-genomics research, research in the Shweta Joshi immuno-oncology lab at UC San Diego, and UCLA brain-imaging/genetics and DNA-methylation aging analyses. I also worked as a UCLA Writing Consultant and held UC San Diego undergraduate instructional appointments in Genetics and Genes, Brains, and Behavior. I have extensively coached 40 people toward science and research goals. I offer genetics and neuroscience tutoring, paper and figure interpretation, scientific-writing feedback, study-design discussion, and introductory R/tidyverse analysis and visualization. We work on your own reasoning and drafts through focused examples, constructive feedback, and teach-back practice. I also support high-school chemistry, AP Physics 1/2 and introductory calculus, grounded in completed AP coursework and subsequent quantitative science training. Please share your level, goals, and materials in advance so we can confirm the fit. Lessons are online; specific times are agreed before scheduling.
