Experience
USC Graduate Teaching Assistant Los Angeles, CA June 2016 -- Present Led a discussion section of 26 graduate students to help them understand difficult kinesiology, neuroscience, and occupational therapy concepts • Assisted the professor in grading exams, data entry, and course content creation UCSD Teaching Assistant La Jolla, CA Teaching Assistant March 2012 – June 2014 • Led a discussion section of 30 undergraduate students per quarter to help them understand difficult biological concepts • Assisted the professor in grading exams, data entry, and leading midterm and final review sessions of over 400 undergraduate students • Taught General Biology for 5 quarters and 2 summer sessions • Excellence in Teaching Honorable Mention I am an expert in helping students excel in coursework and developing academic confidence. Studying has never come "easy" to me and it required a lot of modifying my lifestyle to be able to excel in my studies. But through hard work, I was able to graduate with a 3.82 GPA from UCSD in biology as well as maintain a 3.9 GPA in graduate school. I want to help students, especially those that struggle with attention and motivation, to excel in their courses and to develop healthy study skills and confidence. I believe this is what will most help students long term.
