Passionately enjoyed serving as a peer writing mentor. Reviewed student writing of any discipline and critically evaluated their work to offer facilitative feedback, then met one-on-one to discuss their writing. This role taught me how to think on-the-fly and adapt to different learning styles to find ways in which writing ‘clicks’ for the student. Invested in the growth and improvement of other students.

Determined roles of solvent and additives in Sm(II) reductions. Used catalytic reaction systems to study the interplay between substrate and proton-donor coordination and to provide mechanistic evidence for PCET. Frequently used GC-MS to characterize product yields and used UV-Vis stopped-flow spectrophotometry to track kinetic reactions. Continuously prioritized lab safety and kept an accurate, organized lab notebook.
