About

Learn from a first-author, biochemistry researcher in high school with 1,000+ hours of research experience and who's presented at undergraduate symposiums at the highest level*. Have questions about getting into research? Want advice from someone who advises graduate students? Join for two kinds of session:
Short, 15 minute lessons followed by 30 minutes of free Q&A with me, or:
45 minute intensive, focused troubleshooting & advice on one of your research projects.

Topics covered include: preparing as an underclassman, cold emailing, finding summer programs, how to ace the professor interview, writing a proposal for a project, and excelling in the lab.

About the Tutor

I'm a high school senior from Illinois. I work as a biochemistry researcher and have presented my first-author research at undergraduate research symposiums. I specialize in enzymology with a focus on in vitro kinetics assay characterization and serve as my lab's technical advisor on kinetics assays. I scored a 5 on AP biology and AP chemistry self-studying as a freshman, am an AIME qualifer, scored 1550+ SAT, perfect PSAT, and also have two years worth of credits through dual enrollment each for computer science (T10 university) and molecular biology. I enjoy quizbowl (top 10 nationally) and tennis. Here to help with everything STEM.
