-Led interactive discussions and demonstrations during lab sessions, engaging students in critical safety discussions to instill a proactive approach towards hazard identification, risk assessment, and safe laboratory practices. -Hosted bi-weekly office hours to provide one on one guidance and support to students involving questions on laboratory procedures, safety protocols and theoretical concepts. -Increased the efficiency of class time by communicating student concerns to the professor during weekly meetings.

-Expanded the library of available biologically compatible materials by developing a synthetic protocol to achieve high water solubility of previously insoluble macrocycles and applied the technique by successfully synthesizing four water-soluble carbon-based macrocycles. -Investigated the supramolecular interactions of water-soluble macrocycles as a method of solubilizing biologically relevant analytes such as pharmaceutical compounds and hormones by utilizing photophysical, calorimetric and NMR titration techniques as well as structural determination through x-ray crystallography.-Enhanced the efficiency of PhD-level projects by frequently synthesizing up to 30-grams of common starting materials such as substituted aromatics and asymmetric quinones for laboratory-wide use.-Applications include molecular sensing, molecular topology, and dynamic supramolecular interactions

-Advanced the understanding of N-Cu coordination motifs within macrocycles during the formation of mechanically interlocked molecules by constructing reaction coordinate diagrams and investigating the total energetic profile of 12 suspected mechanistic pathways.-Elucidated the structural geometry of over 50 possible reaction transitions states by utilizing Gaussian, Avogadro, and Python to employ modern computational modeling methods.

-Improved academic performance among students by facilitating dynamic and interactive small group discussion with up to 20 students.-Ensured student mental health and safety by advocating for the implementation of a weekly check in system for students to express concerns, which increased student confidence and encouraged the cultivation of supportive student-teacher relationships.
