Ph.D. Biochemist with 14 years of research and mentoring experience teaches biological sciences from middle school through college level.

I had the privilege of working closely with Dr. Blee as an undergraduate researcher in the Majithia Lab. During my time under her mentorship, Dr. Blee distinguished herself not only as an exceptional scientist, but also as an outstanding educator and mentor.

As my mentor, Dr. Blee invested time in ensuring that I understood not only experimental protocols, but also the underlying biological questions, study design, and analytical reasoning guiding the work. She consistently encouraged critical thinking and provided structured guidance while gradually allowing greater autonomy as my skills developed. This approach supported both technical proficiency and increasing intellectual independence.

Overall, Dr. Blee is an effective and thoughtful mentor. Her mentorship contributed meaningfully to my growth as a researcher and reflects a sustained commitment to education.
