My strong reputation as a patient and skilled Teaching Assistant among the faculty within the Department of Chemistry led to me being sought out for this position teaching spectroscopy and thermochemistry to second year students in Beijing, China. This experience provided many opportunities for growth including adapting to a new environment, developing and leading university courses, time and project management, and communicating complex ideas across cultural and linguistic barriers.

I developed and initiated an instrument for conducting velocity map imaging of mass selected transition metal clusters. This involved:• Assembly of vacuum chambers operating at 10^-8 Torr• Installation and operation of a Continuum Powerlite 9010 Nd:YAG coupled to a Horizon OPO• Alignment of optical components• Tuning and optimizing of an Extrel quadrupole ion trap and electrostatic lenses for steering and focusing of ions• Acquiring data using a charged particle detector and digital phosphor oscilloscope• Writing custom scripts for automation of laser control, data acquisition, and data analysis• Collaborating with a multi-disciplined team to develop new machined and electrical componentsI collaborated on the interfacing of our high-power tunable laser system with a Sciex QTRAP 5500 capable of isomeric filtration thanks to the differential mobility source.I visited the CLIO facility in Orsay, France to utilize their free electron laser for conducting infrared multiple photon dissociation experiments. Pairing these experimental results with theoretical treatment of the same molecules provided a better understanding the geometric and quantum structure and lead to several publications. The species studied include of a large variety of gas-phase clusters, from amino acids to palladium catalysts to icosahedral boron cages.I Lead tutorials and lectures, marked assessments, and proctored examinations as and award winning teaching assistant. Courses include; CHEM 209 - Introduction to Spectroscopy, NE 334 - Statistical Thermodynamics for Engineers, CHEM 350 - Statistical Mechanics, NE 114 - Introduction to Linear Algebra for Engineers, CHEM 140 - Introduction to Scientific Calculations, CHEM 123 - Chemical Reactions, Equilibria and Kinetics

My success in the undergraduate analytical laboratories led to the coordinator personally reach out to me during my senior year to assist in creating an educational environment for students to learn and practice the most fundamental techniques in analytical chemistry. Techniques include: titration, pipetting, weighing, drying, gravimetric analysis, electrochemistry, HPLC, GC, and LC.

As the most senior staff member on shift, I often led and mentored teams of up to 10 lifeguards in maintaining the safety of the public and providing high-quality instruction of aquatic programs. In addition, I led classes in first aid, CPR, water rescue techniques, aquatic fitness, and swimming proficiency. Finally I was responsible for monitoring and recording water quality and performing any emergency rescue, first aid, or facility/pool shut down procedures.
