Informations du tuteur
À propos
I have a B.Sc. in Neuroscience and Mental Health from Carleton University, Ontario, Canada, with dual minors in Biology and Chemistry. I graduated with the Faculty of Science University Medal, meaning I had the highest graduating GPA in the Faculty of Science. I worked during my entire university career in neuroscience labs dedicated to neurodegenerative disease (such as Parkinson's disease and ALS) and received multiple research awards. I was also selected for a prestigious internship at University of Toronto. I have extensive knowledge and passion for neuroscience and the adjacent sciences, but I also have a great deal of hands-on experience in the lab applying neuroscientific techniques. This gives me a foundation beyond classroom knowledge. I previously taught virtual STEM classes to students aged 10-18, so I am very comfortable with virtual tutoring.
