My Qualifications

Biology/Anatomy/Microbiology/Genetics

As an Honors-in-Biology graduate (GPA 3.78) from East Tennessee State University with a B.S. in Biochemistry, my undergraduate studies included Biology, Microbiology, Genetics, Biochemistry I and II, DNA Recombinant Lab, Neurobiology, Plant Biology, and Plant Physiology. I went on to receive my master's degree in a very specialized field of microbiology, Plant Pathology. With a M.S. in Plant Pathology (Mycology track), my training included upper-division coursework in Virology, Bacteriology, Mycology, Microbial Ecology, and Genetic Mechanisms of Plant Infection and Disease. My first teaching experience in the biological sciences included working as a TA for Biology Laboratory and Molecular Biology, where I enjoyed the chance to share my enthusiasm about biology and make students comfortable in a laboratory setting. As a part-time Biology Professor for Riverside Community College, teaching both Anatomy & Physiology lecture and Biology lab for freshman students, I felt blessed to be able to really make a difference in the lives of my students. I especially appreciated the chance to work with adult students returning to school. I've also developed and taught science curriculum to 1st grade girls.

Math/Algebra/Pre-calculus

Having chosen a college major with a Chemistry concentration, I had to develop a solid understanding of math in order to obtain my degree. My completed coursework includes Algebra, Pre-calculus, Biological Statistics, and Calculus I and II.
