I'm a dedicated chemist-turned-educator with a B.S. in Chemistry from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. I am pursuing my M.Ed. in Science Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago. My experience as a teaching assistant for organic chemistry labs has equipped me with the skills to guide students through complex concepts with patience and clarity. I specialize in high school chemistry and employ interactive teaching methods to foster engagement and understanding. I am passionate about making science accessible and relevant, tailoring my lessons to meet students where they are and helping them get where they want to be. I look forward to inspiring the next generation of scientists!
