My name is Hansi Parmar, and I am an SI for BIOL 1500. I am a Biology major on the pre-med track. I chose SI because I have always enjoyed teaching challenging topics and helping peers understand them in creative ways. Whether with friends or classmates, I love simplifying complex concepts down to their roots so that others are able to grasp the overall topic, rather than fall into the cycle of giving up.
