Hi Everyone! I grew up in Saint Louis Missouri and went to a wonderful high school there called John Burroughs School. While there my love of learning and science was fostered as by performing ecological projects, training rats to do cognitive puzzles, and overall how to think critically. My passions for animal behavior was then further developed during my undergraduate at Duke University where I worked in a baboon behavior lab, the Duke lemur center with live lemurs, and even made and shot arrowheads into ballistic gel for a published research paper. After graduating I spent a year living in the field in Kenya working as a research assistant for a Spotted Hyena behavior lab, and then went on to grad school at the University of New Mexico to study wild Chimpanzees for my masters in Evolutionary Anthropology. Soon after graduating, I felt that I could really help fellow researchers with their statistical analysis for their projects and got my second masters in Statistics at Texas A&M University. I have had many eclectic interests over my life from swing dancing, and quidditch, to my current obsessions of Sumo wrestling (both watching and competing) and competitive weightlifting. Throughout my studies and travels, I have always tried to teach others about the wonders of science and animals, as a friend, teacher’s assistant in grad school, and as a private tutor. My philosophy that any student can understand any material, you just have to adjust the context to something they understand, whether that be a sport, a video game, or even DnD. I look forward to helping your child become the best student they can be.
