"Hi, I'm Hilla! I hold a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition Science - PreMed with Honors from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo and am a rising medical student. Throughout my academic journey, I developed a strong foundation in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Nutrition Science. My passion for teaching began my 2nd year at Cal Poly SLO as a teaching assistant for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, where I gained valuable experience in breaking down complex topics into clear, digestible concepts. I focus on teaching methods that go beyond memorization, helping students develop a deep understanding of the material.

Beyond teaching, I have extensive experience working in sports nutrition and various research labs as a student assistant and phlebotomist. These roles have enhanced my ability to connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications, providing students with a practical perspective on the sciences. My research experience has sharpened my analytical and problem-solving skills, allowing me to guide students through critical thinking exercises and scientific reasoning—essential skills for mastering challenging subjects.
