From Fall 2017 through Spring 2022 I was a resident tutor at Lowell
House, one of the dorms at Harvard College. In this role, I lived in the
building with students as an additional resource and interacted with a
wide range of students on both academic and personal matters. Within the
house, I was heavily involved in the the intramural sports and Lowell
Speeches Program, as well as assisting the fellowships team. After my
departured, I remained involved in the Lowell community as a non
resident tutor.
Resident Tutor , Winthrop House, Harvard University
During the 2023-2024 academic year, I returned as a resident tutor
at Winthrop House, another dorm on Harvard College. In addition to
living, eating and interacting with students casually within the house,
I was heavily involved in the the intramural sports program, operations
of the within dorm grille, and organizing a weekly community night.
Classes
Biology of Fishes (OEB 130), Harvard University
During Spring of 2018, 2021, and 2023, I worked as a teaching
assistant for Dr. George Lauder providing an overview of fish Biology.
This was a course of 25 - 60 primarily upper class undergraduate
students. As a broad course we discussed fish anatomy, physiology,
evolution and behavior. I gave a few course lectures and I led students
in a weekly fish identification and dissection lab.
Fundamentals of Marine Biology (OEB 60), Harvard
University
During spring of 2022 I was a teaching fellow for Dr. Aaron
Hartmann. This course is designed as an introduction to marine science
for both science and non science majors. I ran one of the interactive
discussion sections for this class where I managed a group of 30
students.
Evolutionary Human Anatomy and Physiology (LS2),
Harvard University
During Fall of 2021 I was a teaching fellow for Dr. George Lauder,
Dr. Dan Leiberman, and Dr. Andrew Bieweiner. This course is designed as
an introduction to anatomy and physiology and uses an evolutionary lens
to compare human systems to those in other vertebrates. I ran a lab
section where I was led students through various dissections as well
physiological experiments.
Fisheries Science (OSI 431), The Ocean Institute,
California State University
During the fall of 2015 I worked as a teaching assistant for
Dr. Chris Lowe’s 4 week field fisheries science class. This was during a
field semester with students living at the University of Southern
California’s Wrigley field station on Catalina Island. I led students in
lab based dissections to undestand fish anatomy. Additionally, I
extensively trained students in field based methods to learn fish ID,
snorkel transect transect methodology and boat driving.
Marine Community Ecology (OSI 421), The Ocean
Institute, California State University
During the fall of 2015 I worked as a teaching assistant for
Dr. Bengt Allen’s 4 week field Marine Ecology class. This was during a
field semester with students living at the University of Southern
California’s Wrigley field station on Catalina Island. I led students in
both lab and field exercises, to learn about inter- and sub-tidal
ecology with a focus on invertebrate and algal transects and species
ID.
Directed Research (OSI 490), The Ocean Institute,
California State University
During the last 4 weeks of students each Catalina Semester student
was in charge of conducting their own field research project which was
ultimately presented as their final project. I aided students in study
design, field research, statistical analysis, and results writing.
Marine Biology (Bio 153), California State
University Long Beach
During the fall of 2013 I worked as a teaching assistant for
Dr. Gwen Goodman-Lowe, teaching 2 sections of this class. This class was
designed to be an introductory class to marine biology for non
scientists. I mainly led students in weekly field trips to field sites
to conduct hands on experiments in different marine
environments(e.g. Marsh, beach, mudflat)
Biological Statistics (Bio 260), California State
University Long Beach
During the Spring and Fall of 2014 I worked as a teachign assistant
for Dr. Darren Johnson teaching 2 sections of this class each semester.
As a introductory statistics class, I led a computer lab section, where
I taught students in the implementation of the concepts learned in
lecture. I taught students how to use minitab to analyze biological
data(i.e. t-test, ANOVA, regression)
Workshops
R for Biologists , Harvard University
During the summer of 2020 I virtually led summer REU students(~10)
in a weekly workshop, where I taught them an introduction to R. I taught
students how to bring data into r, manipulate data, plot data, and
statistically analyze data.
