Hi everyone! I’m a junior majoring in Biology on the pre-med track. This is my second time being a Learning Assistant and my first time serving as an LA for this course, and I’m very excited to contribute to your learning. This course covers a variety of important concepts that can help you discover which areas of biology interest you most. I’m particularly interested in diagnosis and the kind of integrative thinking involved in understanding complex biological systems. In my free time, I enjoy listening to piano pieces, reading novels, and going on walks. I know staying on top of the material can sometimes feel stressful, so I’m here to support you. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Hi everyone! My name is Sai, and I am currently a junior majoring in Public Health on the pre-med track.This is my thrd semester LAing– I took Dr. Kelso’s O2E class my first semester of college, and absolutely loved it! This is definitely not the most easy class offered at CU Denver, but you’ll learn so much, and it’ll really set all of you, but especially those who are pre-health, up for success through college and your post-graduate plans! I am super excited to meet and work with all of you this semester. Please reach out if you need anything at all!

Hello all! I am a senior majoring in Biochemistry. I was a bit intimidated going into Physiology but I ended up really enjoying it, so this will be my second semester teaching it. I also love playing pickleball, listening to music, and raving. Super excited to work with you guys!

Hello! I am in the Allied and Professional Health Sciences Post Baccalaureate program and received my B.Sc. in Applied Biological Sciences with a minor in chemistry. I have taken a few of classes with Dr. Beck and this is my second semester as an LA for one of her courses. I have worked in various teaching and tutoring roles in all different sciences, so I obviously really enjoy teaching and learning with others. But, outside of that, I also like to be with friends and family, traveling, and doing some retail therapy. Human Physiology is definitely one of the more intense but fascinating courses I have taken and I am excited to be here, I hope you all are too.

Hi all! I'm a senior biology major on the organisms to ecosystems track. This is my second semester working as an LA, but my first time LAing for 2 different classes (BIOL 3650 and 3832). I love all things biology, especially the bigger-picture aspects like evolution and ecology, and hope to one day become a professor! Don't hesitate to reach out with questions and concerns throughout the semester. I look forward to working with you all!

I graduated in Spring '26 with a degree in Integrative Biology. My academic interests are mainly aligned with science education and microbial ecology/evolution. Although I am not enrolled in a degree-seeking graduate program at CU, I am using my time here to gather more experience and round out my technical skills! I've taken several classes & independent studies with Dr. Mosier, and I'm quite familiar with her instruction style. There's a lot to learn in this class, but it's really just applying a bit of everything (evolution, ecology, genetics, pathology, cell biology, biochemistry...) in a microbial context. Outside of school, I enjoy travelling, reading, and playing games with friends.

Hi everyone! I am a current senior majoring in Human Biology on the pre-med track. This is my first semester working as an LA having taken a couple classes with Dr. Beck already. Outside of class I love to hang out with friends and family, listen to music, and play guitar. I can't wait to meet everyone and provide help!
