Experience
Hi! My name is Dr. Angela F. and I would enjoy tutoring you in any area of the biological sciences that you may need, as well as communication and natural sciences. I also help with research papers and theses. I have been tutoring professionally since 1992, and have tutored and coached many students through their courses, as well as assisted many with entrance examinations. I've been teaching for twenty-four years now at the college level. I currently teach Biology and Anatomy and Physiology for Edgecombe Community College and both Biology and Biological Anthropology for North Carolina Wesleyan College. I have taught a variety to science courses in addition to general biology - histology, embryology, cell and molecular biology, genetics, immunology, and anatomy and physiology. I was also in the US Army Reserves, and served active during Desert Storm in Kuwait. I started out as a photographer (many of my Desert Storm photos were published in magazines like Life) but cross-trained as a Forensic Anthropologist so I spent quite a bit of my time with a remains identification unit. Following 9-11, I joined a military/civilian team and worked Ground Zero with a remains identification unit from December 2001 until May 2002. I again worked with a remains identification group in Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina. I have spent a significant amount of time living in Madagascar studying handedness in sifakas (lemurs) and in Costa Rica working with white-faced capuchins. Obviously, biological and forensic anthropology are my academic passions. My husband and I have also spent several summers in Ethiopia working with locals on water quality issues. Andrew is also trained as an environmental scientist. I most recently completed a three-year grant in Chile where I've been working with the locals on treatment and education about schistosomiasis - a parasite that is prevalent in the area and can attack the bladder and intestines (two different species). I work my photography into my work with both the primates and anthropological projects and occasionally have photos in National Geographic, Natural History, Smithsonian, and similar publications.
