Position Title
Senior Continuing Lecturer

2033B Sciences Lab Building
Bio

While the faculty in the chemistry department consider the topic of chemistry the most amazing subject in the known universe, the general public often has a sour distaste for the topic. My goal is to pique the interest of every student in the classroom so they may taste the relevance of chemistry in their learning and their life. To do so, the classroom is used to the maximize the learning experience through excellent lectures, relevant examples, fascinating chemical demonstrations, and engaging interactive components. The classroom experience must be the perfect nexus of learning and increased curiosity.

The laboratory is the hands-on experience that students need to solidify their learning. In order for the laboratory experience to occur, safety among the TAs and dispensary staff is of utmost importance. Without an established safety culture, the integrity of the laboratory experiments would be compromised. When students understand the necessary aspects of safety, they are more prepared for working in laboratories in the future as well as handling chemicals in their own household.
