- PhD in Biology at Harvard University - Master's in Science in Human Genetics at McGill University - Bachelor's in Science with distinction majoring Human Genetics and minoring in Cultural Anthropology at University of Toronto

Experience

I was a teaching assistant for a Molecular Biology course at Harvard University for two years, and received an excellence in teaching award in 2010. I ran a small lab class on September of 2011-2014. I also served as a teaching consultant at Harvard University's Bok Center for Teaching, where I trained teaching assistants on basic teaching skills and general public speaking skills. I've been very active in the teaching community at Harvard, and am experienced in one on one tutoring as well as active learning techniques. I really enjoy getting to know my students and finding ways to engage each student with the material in a way that works with their own learning style.

Hobbies

My main hobby is painting! I've been doing watercolor since childhood but recently picked up oil painting. I'm also becoming more of an outdoors person, after having hiked across the forests of Hawaii for my PhD work to collect bugs. One thing that people may not guess when they meet me is that I grew up in rural Japan and I am fluent in Japanese. While it's been a long time since I last visited, I still very much love Japanese culture and try to keep up with it. Having grown up in an intersection of many different cultures, I'm really love reading pieces in cultural anthropology.
