Supplemental Instruction

Ali

My name is Ali Bonkoski. I’m a physics major. I became an SI leader because I love math. It can be so fascinating once you get over the hurdle of learning it, and I want to help other students get to that other side. My hobbies include reading books and going for long runs.

Braden

My name is Braden, and I am a microbiology major! I decided to become an SI for anatomy because I loved the class so much and wanted to help others learn about all the fun and incredible things we get to discuss in human anatomy! I have many outdoor hobbies, which include fishing, hiking, canyoneering, boating, and many more! I love talking about anatomy and helping other students succeed. I am super excited to meet new students who enjoy it as much as I do!

Jace

Hiya! My name's Jace and I'm in my junior year, majoring in physics and applied math. I study general relativity (Einstein's theory of gravity) and plan to attend a graduate program in theoretical physics. Becoming an SI Leader was a very natural choice for me. I am always endeavoring to refine my explanations of physics and math, and to me, it's the greatest joy when curious minds gain insight from them.

I aspire to become a physics professor, so this is a great opportunity to sharpen my teaching/communication skills and test the waters in a position with fewer responsibilities. Aside from physics, I enjoy hiking, skiing, reading, and listening to music (R&B/Soul, Hip-hop, and Indie are my primary genres). I am stoked to get to know y'all and build this supportive little community :)

Jenny

Hello! My name is Jenny, and I'm a biochemistry major. I became an SI for this class because it is one of my favorite classes I've had so far, and I hope I can help other students connect better with the material and succeed in the course. Some of my favorite hobbies include reading, road tripping, crocheting, and hanging out at home with my six pets.

Josh

Hey! I’m Josh, and I’m majoring in microbiology. I wanted to become an SI Leader after going to SI sessions and realizing how much help and fun it can make a semester. I absolutely loved my O-Chem class and hope that I can help others do well in it! When I’m not studying, I love to travel and get outside to fish, boat, or backpack.

Lilliana “Lilli”

Hi, my name is Lilli and I am a nursing student! I became an SI leader to help ease the course load to be able to be perceived in an approachable way, and to become a pro of all the content. I love dancing, the gym, and naps! :)

Micah

Hi, I’m Micah, and I am majoring in electrical engineering. I became an SI Leader because I know a lot of students do/will struggle with physics, so I want to show that it's not that scary and can be quite simple with a bit of practice and intuition. Some of my hobbies include watercolor, calligraphy, writing, and making YouTube videos.

Molly

Hi, my name is Molly. I'm majoring in applied mathematics with a concentration in physical mathematics. I was interested in becoming an SI leader because I enjoy math so much, and I'm super excited to connect with others about it and learn on an even deeper level by helping other students! My hobbies include roller skating, writing, and cooking.

Noelia

My name is Moriah, and I am a nutrition education major in my third year. I became a Learning Assistant because my favorite Nutrition professor recommended it, and I was very excited to work with her in her class. I love talking to people about nutrition, and I think it is important for everyone to know what their food can do for them! My hobbies include reading, hiking, sewing, and crafts.

Zane

Hi, I’m Zane, and I am majoring in microbiology. I chose to become an SI because I love learning and helping others succeed. My own SI leaders have made a big impact on me, and I’ve always looked up to them! I want to pass that same experience on to other students. In my free time, I enjoy boating, fishing, working out, dirt biking, and playing sports.
