What I'm looking for

I seek tutoring or entry-level lab/research roles where I can teach, support student learning, and grow in biological research and academic outreach.

I am a dedicated and patient biology undergraduate at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines with strong academic foundations in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and English. I consistently achieve high honors and have a history of academic competition success and awards.

I have practical laboratory exposure from a work immersion with the Metro Lipa Water District and current experience as a student assistant; I lead and participate in multiple university student organizations focused on biology, publications, and student engagement.

I deliver personalized lesson planning, academic coaching, and study skills support, and I actively contribute to outreach and scientific seminars — demonstrating commitment to helping students understand complex concepts through clear explanations and interactive learning.
