Santa Fe, New Mexico Area

I was part of the Materials Development team in the Engineered Materials group. My research included materials spanning silicones, metals, ceramics, polymers and various composites.

Santa Fe, New Mexico Area

I created and studied advanced materials using my organic/inorganic synthetic skills as well as 3D printing methods. I performed solution and solid-state NMR measurements on a wide variety of materials. I also employ my experience in catalysis in testing the catalytic activity of novel materials.

College Station, Texas

As a graduate research assistant in the lab of Dr. Janet Bluemel I studied immobilized Ni catalysts for carbon-carbon bond forming reactions. I characterized all of these materials using solid-state NMR techniques. I also studied the adsorption and mobility of organometallic and organic molecules on materials with a high specific surface area such as.

Flagstaff, Arizona

As a member of Dr. Stephanie Hurst's synthetic inorganic chemistry lab I:--Wrote a grant proposal and received the HURA grant which provided funding for my project.--Synthesized Pd and Pt sandwich complexes and many other ligands and starting materials.--Characterized these products using multi-nuclear NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry--Presented.

Flagstaff, Arizona

--Prepared samples for general chemistry labs --Cleaned and checked calibration of analytical balances --Collected hazardous waste from teaching labs--Tested safety equipment

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Chemistry

As a member of the Bluemel group (http://www.chem.tamu.edu/rgroup/bluemel/index.html) I studied immobilized and homogeneous Ni catalysts.

Bachelor’S Degree, Chemistry

I received an extended Bachelors degree, certified by the American Chemical Society as well as a minor in Physics.
