MEET THE TUTORS
Autumn Sandone (they/them)
Major: Biology
Tutoring in BIO 110, 112A, 112B; CHEM 114, 131, 132
Hi everyone! I’m Autumn, my second year at College of Marin. I am a new addition to the MESA tutoring team and am excited to meet you all. Helping create a more inclusive STEM space is something that I am very passionate about, and I am so glad to help encourage and uplift those around me! Some things I am interested in are fashion and music. I love cutting up clothes and turning them into something new and unique - maybe too much. Some of my goals include transferring to a four-year university and potentially pursuing a career in the medical field. I look forward to getting to know everyone in this learning community, and I hope to be a friendly face at MESA!
Timothy Carroll (he/him)
Major: Electrical Engineering
Tutoring in CHEM 114, 131; PHYS 207A, MATH 123, 124
Hi, I’m Timothy! I’m a new MESA tutor in my second year at the College of Marin. I aim to get a PhD in Electrical Engineering, focusing on integrated circuit design. I love listening to music, working out, and learning new things. Feel free to chat with me about anything—I'm here to help and listen! I’m looking forward to helping you achieve your goals!
Moss Willow Fallat (she/her/he/him)
Major: Neuroscience
Tutoring in CHEM 114, 131, 132
This is my third year as a student at the College of Marin. I'm hoping to transfer to UC for neuroscience, and after that, I plan to pursue my PhD and do research in my field. This is my second semester working with MESA, and I'm excited for the opportunity to tutor chemistry!
It's my favorite subject, and I hope to work with students to enjoy—or at least understand—the content. Outside of academics, I enjoy TTRPGs and hiking, and I always want to see a photo of your dog.
Margo Marsh (she/her)
Major: Chemistry
Tutoring in CHEM 114, 231, 232
Hi, my name is Margo, and I’m in my final year at COM. This is my third-semester tutoring chemistry, but my first semester here in MESA. I can’t wait to join this amazing community of people. I plan to transfer to UC in the fall of 2025. I hope to one day do drug research or synthesis focusing on cancer medication/ prevention for pediatrics.
Outside of school, I enjoy working as a nanny and a preschool teacher, playing tennis, reading, and traveling internationally.
Jake Ures (he/him)
Major: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Tutoring in BIO 110, 112C, 112B; CHEM 114, 131, 132, 231, 232
Hi, I’m Jake. This will be my third year at the College of Marin, and I aim to transfer this coming academic year. I love chemistry and biology and hope to research neurological/ oncological diseases from a chemical perspective. My academic goal is to earn a PhD in Neuroscience/Genetics. I enjoy exercise, learning, and getting outdoors. I have been a member of MESA for over a year, and I am proud to be a MESA tutor.
