Bio
I am a 3rd year Ph.D. student (Bioinformatics) with an enthusiasm for guiding and instilling a sense of academic confidence in the scholars of today! I truly believe anything is learnable.
I have a great deal of patience and I understand the need to break down complex bits of information into manageable chunks. I value the differences in learning styles (as I have tried many myself through the years), and thus, I can assist in trying to understand the student's needs and capabilities at an individual level and subsequently adapt to that.
