Profile Summary

I’m an English teacher with a background in life sciences, including hands-on experience in molecular biology, assay development, and research analysis. I’ve also taught math in the past, and bring strong communication and problem-solving skills from both the classroom and the lab. I’m currently expanding my knowledge in data science, machine learning, and AI, and I’m interested in opportunities that blend education, research, and scientific analysis. I can support projects involving experimental planning, data interpretation, and clear, structured communication—with a focus on learning and adaptability.
