I am a graduate student working towards my doctorate degree in chemical engineering. When I was younger I enjoyed learning how things worked and dreamt of one day building machines which would change the world. As I have progressed in my education I have kept that desire to build new things, but I have also experienced the joy of sharing what I have learned. I find teaching to be an immensely rewarding activity, especially when I am able to assist students to have a "lightbulb moment". The fundamentals of science have a special place in my heart and it is my goal to help others come to understand (and hopefully enjoy) these basic principles.
