Education

Columbia University, senior, 4.0, Chemistry major and premed track

Experience

I greatly enjoy teaching, and have worked for the past 3 semesters as a Columbia University teacher's assistant for Organic Chemistry Lab and General Chemistry. In interacting with my peers and helping them through challenging material, I enjoy modifying my teaching style to fit each student and to build a bond of trust as their educator and friend. It brings such satisfaction to guide students to that 'aha!' moment that I remember struggling to get through when I was first learning the material. My teaching style incorporates a balance between strictness to ensure efficient, high-level results, and humor to relieve stress. My ACT score was 35 and my superscore SAT was 2380. I received a 5 in AP Chemistry, Biology, Calculus AB and BC, World History, US History, Spanish Language, English Literature, and US Gov. I have taken Organic Chemistry and lab, Physical Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, General Chemistry and Lab, Psychology, and Physics with Lab, at Columbia. I was a research assistant at an organic chemistry lab at Columbia, where I worked on the prebiotic synthesis of RNA and presented my research at Scientista Symposium for women in STEM. I hope to pursue a career in medicine, and have spent the past two summers volunteering with physicians, specifically an orthopedic surgeon and a geriatrician, collecting patient data, translating for clinic visits, and observing surgeries.
