Hobbies
Along with my experience as an instructor, I also have experience working at the Makielski Lab of Cellular and Molecular Arrhythmia Research Program in University of Wisconsin-Madison Medical School since I was a high school student. I received promotion and increasing responsibilities. These responsibilities include collaborating with lab technicians and educating high school student interns. Personality: My personality is very flexible. This means I can be very nurturing if the student needs encouragement, and also means I can be strict and policy-enforcing.
