About Me

I graduated from Drew University in May 2013 earning a Bachelor of Arts with a major in physics and minor in mathematics. I was a member of both the physics honors society, Sigma Pi Sigma, and the mathematics honors society, Pi Mu Epsilon. My accomplishments include being the inaugural recipient of the Robert L. Fenstermacher Summer Research Fellowship-2012, earning the Novartis Science Award in Physics-2012, and was awarded the Arnold S. Boxer Memorial Prize in Physics-2013. My research fellowship focused on utilizing Raman spectroscopy as a tool for determining pollutants in water samples. During college, I taught two weekly review sessions for the introductory physics classes. The first session was for the calculus-based introductory mechanics and electromagnetism courses while the second was for a conceptual physics course aimed towards non-science students. These sessions were a highlight of my college career and taught me a variety of teaching strategies. I learned to relate physics principles to the students everyday lives while still communicating the elegant mathematics behind the physical world. Mathematics and physics are difficult subjects but I believe anyone can understand them with a little work. There is no more satisfying feeling than comprehending a new equation or principle for the first time. In my free time I enjoy fishing, reading, weightlifting, and spending time on the beach. I am an aspiring Medical Physicist and will be attending a PhD program in Fall 2016.
