Throughout high school I excelled in my science classes, but it wasn't until my sophomore year in college that an Organic Chemistry professor pointed out my passion for chemistry .Shortly after that experience, I decided to immerse myself in the subject and thus graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry (coupled with substantial research experience).Thankfully, I had the opportunity to tutor high school and college students while I completed my studies, which made me realize the importance of having a mentor that is willing to teach, guide, and encourage his/her students along the way. With that being said, I am happy to say that several of my students have moved on to medical school (while rocking their Chemistry classes!).Chemistry may seem like a daunting subject at first, but I encourage all of my students to keep an open mind and give me the chance to show them how chemistry isn't so bad.

Mentoring, hiking, and experimenting in the kitchen (which is like experimenting in a lab!)
