Tutored students in subjects such as introductory biology, general chemistry, and organic chemistry by providing them effective methods of understanding course content while also building a greater appreciation for it.

In working with a faculty mentor, I had the pleasure of studying a tandem glycine riboswitch. These unique components of mRNA are critical in regulating gene expression due to the conformational changes they exhibit in particular cell conditions. Through a combination of molecular techniques and extensive biochemical analysis I was successfully able to quantify the relative concentration of glycine that is necessary to induce conformational change as well as provide valuable insight on the tandem architecture of this fascinating structure!
