My informal bio:

     I earned my Bachelors of Science (Honors, cum laude) from the University of Delaware with a degree in Biochemistry.  Next, I went to Rutgers University, where I earned a PhD in Molecular Genetics and Microbiology.  My graduate research involved new methods to study the interferon-gamma receptor complex  in intact cells.  My post-graduate research involved evolutionary immunology, biophysical immunology, plasmid vector design and stem cell engineering.  I accumulated over 20 years of research experience.

​

     In the next stage of my career, I decided to get involved in start-up companies and entrepreneurial adventures!  I am returning to my roots as a tutor, because one-on-one education is most effective and most enjoyable, and 20 years of research gave me a highly-tuned sense of problem-solving.  I am a chief science office for two start-up companies, and I have my own entrepreneurial dreams.  I also am a consultant so my highest experience can be paid forward to those who need it most.

​

     Most recently, I restarted a teaching career by teaching various biological sciences at Indian River State College.  To see my Weebly page, click here.  As my first dedications are to my students and the school, I have slowed down my updating of these pages; for that I apologize.
