I joined the Notestein Research Group at the end of my first fall quarter. I became part of the Dow Carbonylation Team where I studied ethylene carbonylation over metal sulfide catalysts as an alternate route to propionates.

Science Olympiad is a volunteer-led once-per-week after school program for middle school students interested in science. I developed and implemented a curriculum that included 8 complete lessons: both lecture-style components and hands on experimental components that the students could perform. (Attached) I had 7 students (1 5th grade, 3 6th grade, 2 7th.

During my education at Northwestern I was expected to perform teaching assistant duties in all but my last year (this year).
