Experience
I have experience teaching middle school, high school, and college level science courses. These include: biology, genetics, chemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, biological anthropology, primatology, evolutionary biology, and cultural diversity. Relevant classes I've taken: Chemistry 1 and 2, Organic Chemistry 1 and 2, Biology 1 and 2, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Physiology, Genetics, and Physics 1 and 2, Biological Anthropology, Human Behavioral Ecology, Archaeology. I am currently a Research Fellow at Penn State University conducting my dissertation work in Miami, FL. I am from here and live here permanently. Prior to attending graduate school, I was employed at a Science education and outreach center at the University of Florida. I love teaching and have been an educator for 11 years! I am very science focused and can break down difficult science concepts to enable students to understand them. I love helping students understand their material and relay how fun and exciting science really is! I hope to bring some of the enthusiasm I have for science in my tutoring sessions to not only help for memorization but also excite people about my passion. I am also willing to tutor small groups of the same subject for a reduced price per person.

Hobbies
I enjoy hiking and engaging with nature; it's my favorite way to de-stress! I have a dog named Mango who is 2 years old and a cat named Shelly who is 1.5 years old. They both came into my life within a month of each other a little over a year ago! I enjoy watching movies, especially horror movies, and spend a lot of my time reading all kinds of books. I am very close with my niece and nephew (who are 10 and 6). I spend my extra time hanging with and raising them. I am family-oriented and help take care of my mother and grandmother as well. I am looking to be a tutor as a way to continue engaging in teaching, which I love, and as a way to make some extra money while I finish my dissertation. Hopefully 2024 makes me Dr. Hernandez!
