Career Experience

My science career began as a research technician, working on fatty acid metabolism in platelets and their bone marrow precursors. After a couple of years, I went to graduate school, where I majored in physiology, began tutoring medical students, and worked on my research project on membrane structure and function in pressure-overloaded hearts. Following my graduation, I did a postdoctoral fellowship in a lab where I learned more molecular biology and biochemical techniques, while studying signal transduction in cardiac cells. I have continued my research on signal transduction as a faculty member, where I have taught physiology, and molecular and cellular biology. In the lab, I have regularly used my knowledge of biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, and biostatistics.

I Love Tutoring Because

I enjoy being able to help a student, who comes in unsure of a concept or how to approach a problem, leave the session feeling confident that “I get it now!”

I'm not very worried about sounding foolish or stupid when I'm chatting with the tutors, which helps me ask those specific questions. :)

Karen was really good, didn't rush me, went step by step, and was really helpful/informative.
