The University of North Texas is where I call home these days, since I am on campus just about every day, working towards the completion of a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry and a Bachelor’s Degree in Biochemistry. I have always had a love for science and mathematics, so spending my days learning and doing research is personally satisfying. My educational goal is to complete graduate school with a PhD in Organic Chemistry and peruse a career as a research chemist. Away from UNT, I find myself at Tarrant County College working in the chemistry laboratory as a lab technician. I also spend my time there assisting Dr. Jenkins with various research projects and designing and implementing new organic laboratory procedures. The current research I am working on is Organometallic Research: 8-Methylquinoline Complexes, to create an 8-Methylquinoline – di(2-pyridyl) ketone complex to allow for potential addition of various functional groups to the 8-methyl carbon.I am the type of individual that enjoys a challenge. I like research and problem-solving because I think that the research I do is relevant to making make a difference in my life, someone else’s and the world. I always strive to be better today than I was yesterday. I will be a positive addition to any work or educational environment, so contact me with any internship or employment opportunities.
