I am a recent chemistry PhD graduate from Prof. Mark Lipke's lab at Rutgers University where my research focused primarily on metal-organic nanocages and modulation of their host-guest properties, with a secondary focus on chemistry education/instruction. I have 5+ years of experience providing instructional assistance in chemistry courses at the University level, both in the capacity as a formal teaching assistant and as a volunteer teaching assistant. Select courses I have experience teaching include General Chemistry lecture, Organic Chemistry lecture and lab, and Inorganic Chemistry lecture. I am passionate about improving the quality and accessibility of undergraduate chemistry education for all students, and I frequently participated in outreach efforts hosted by the chemsitry department and the University during my time at Rutgers.
