About Alyssa

I was born and raised on Florida’s Treasure Coast. In high school, chemistry piqued my interest as I saw it as a way to better understand the world around me. I attended Rollins College and continued to explore my interest in chemistry, interning at Moffitt Cancer Center and Georgia Tech. I conducted research under the supervision of Dr. Laurel Habgood and authored and defended a thesis. In 2018, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Rollins College with a BA in Chemistry and with Honors.

I attended graduate school at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and graduated with my PhD in Chemistry from the Olshansky group in 2023. My doctoral work focused on synthesizing and characterizing dinuclear cobalt complexes that serve as structural models for the active sites of metallo-oxidoreductases. I am trained on a variety of spectroscopic methods and inorganic synthetic techniques. Please see my resume, CV, and research section of my website for more details.

Besides my research, I am passionate about mentoring younger scientists and fostering an inclusive environment. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and baking, reading romantasy novels, watching K-dramas, lounging at beaches, dancing, hiking, and knitting.

Training the next generation of scientists starts in their primary education. Having a fundamental understanding of chemistry sets students up for success in pursuing any Science/Technology/Engineering/Math (STEM) degree in college. From my experience as a teaching assistant for general chemistry at University of Illinois, I observed that unfortunately, the course seemed designed to “weed out” who did not already have a basic grasp of chemistry from high school. General chemistry is almost always a requirement for any STEM major, from animal science to mechanical engineering. It was devastating watching students consider switching majors and changing their plan all because they were struggling with a class that is not even one of their core requirements. As a tutor, I can help ensure that does not happen to you.


Tutoring Experience
I have six years of tutoring and teaching experience. At Rollins College, I was selected to be a tutor by professors in the Chemistry Department in which I tutored 2 – 15 general chemistry students in a group setting weekly. Additionally, I tutored one-on-one through Rollins Tutoring and Writing Center for general chemistry, organic chemistry, and assisted with scientific writing. I had numerous students who would specifically make appointments with me.

Tutoring Philosophy
As a teaching assistant for general chemistry at University of Illinois, I oversaw 100 students and would assess what concepts from the main lecture were unclear, or what was completely not taught, and provide short lectures on those topics as well as walking them through problem sets and provided detailed feedback on their graded assignments. I went above and beyond my teaching duties to host study sessions for exams, that even students in other general chemistry sections would attend. I was ranked as excellent by students based on anonymous and optional student reviews. I continued to care about student success as a teaching assistant for inorganic chemistry and inorganic laboratory classes by providing detailed feedback on problem sets, exams, lab reports, and hosting additional office hours prior to exams.
