I am a Junior at the University of Missouri Kansas City majoring in Chemistry. I am pursuing this degree in order to prepare myself for dental school. During my studies I have spent a lot of time working with other students who are trying to prepare for tests, or to simply do better in their classes. Through these experiences I have learned that I very much enjoy facilitating the learning process for other students. I love helping others in scientific subjects such as biology and chemistry, but the path to dental school has given me the opportunity to learn about a variety of other topics. The satisfaction of acing a difficult test or quiz is something that I hope to share with my students. Outside of school I enjoy cooking, hunting, running, and spending time with friends and family. I also spend a lot of time volunteering for various causes.
