Fun Facts

I am originally from a farm in Northwest Iowa where we raise 1600 acres of tofu beans, soy beans, and feed corn as well as sheep, swine, and chickens. I am currently in the process of applying to medical school and will hopefully be entering this fall.

About Me

I have a B.S. in Biology from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska and an M.S. in Biomedical Science from Regis University in Denver, Colorado. I love to hunt waterfowl, pheasants, and deer as well as fish. I'm a big sports fan, wrestling and football in particular. I love science, and hope to practice emergency medicine as a physician someday.

I have tutored for Pi Kappa Alpha as well as been employed as a supplemental instructor for Student Support Services, a program at Creighton University. I tutored students in BIO 317 (Genetics), BIO 362 (Cell Structure and Function) and BIO 449 (Animal Physiology). I was employed by Creighton University for two years as a denver">tutor.

I believe reiteration is key to understanding difficult concepts. I start by asking students what they know and what they don't know. From there, we work together to formulate a game plan as to the best approach to the individual situation. I like to listen to what the student struggles with and why, as well as what they are proficient in. Then we set about learning the material using different strategies (depending on the particular student's learning style, as well as the best way to go about understanding the material) until we find something that works for both me as a denver">tutor, and the student as a learner. I don't feel much is learned by me as a denver">tutor telling students answers and explaining how I got to that answer. Rather, I like to ask them several different questions until they can come to the correct answer on their own. Doing it this way helps the students train their own thought process and problem solving strategies so when it comes to test time, they have the confidence to find the correct answer themselves.
