About Me
I grew up in a small town in Minnesota called Murdock. I attended college at a local community college, attained my associates degree, and then transferred to the University of Minnesota, where I finished my Bachelor's degree in Chemistry while minoring in Mathematics and Physics. I earned my Master's degree in Chemistry from Dr. Christopher Uyeda's lab at Purdue University in 2018. Afterwards, I accepted the position of Organic Chemistry Laboratory Coordinator at Bradley University. I have a passion for teaching and am happy to be able to realize my dream of educating the next generation of students.
