Summary

I am a dedicated researcher with extensive experience in electrochemistry, cyclic voltammetry, and materials science research. I'm experienced in conducting laboratory experiments, using Aftermath and Wavenow programs, surface analysis, and equivalent circuit modeling. I'm passionate about assisting students in biology or medical-related field with professional school preparation, transcript evaluations, and course planning. I'm actively involved in healthcare and gerontology studies as I have a desire to pursue the medical field after obtaining my master's degree in Biology and because I wish to enhance my patient skills. I'm a dedicated volunteer who is committed to community service and educational outreach programs to support scientific education, healthcare awareness, and underserved communities.
