I am a graduate student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute pursuing a Master's of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Biomedical Engineering. I currently hold a Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering with a concentration in Biomaterials. During my degree, I've been required to take physiology and cell biology courses with intensive laboratory portions. Particularly in my graduate years, one of my main focuses has been behavioral and cellular neuroscience. I have given short lectures on neuroscience topics.

I've been an online teacher for 6 years, and I've been teaching Biology at middle and high school levels for more than 2 of those years. I've also taught the same material in private sessions and in small groups.

Since this course is short, I do not assign formal homework. However, if this is an important part of your learner's journey, I will be happy to collaborate and create homework assignments for them.
