...for my graduate studies went alongside one of the best experiences of my life: the University of Cincinnati Summer REU in 2023. I worked for ten weeks under Dr. Lyndsay Kissell in Pietro Strobbia's lab and, for the first time, I was answering questions using chemistry.

If students are able to explore these topics they will experience a higher level of learning. I always establish a sense of respect with my students by being genuine, transparent, and receptive to students' ideas and opinions. Once students are able to come to an understanding, the potential for learning and growth becomes unlimited.

If students remain teachable and avoid shutting down, they will have the extra energy and potential to learn. In addition to the students' attitude, the teacher must be dynamic, allow relearn/retakes and urge students to get outside help. Hearing the same information from a different teacher can make a huge difference in retention....
