Bio
Why Education at Florida Tech?
"Through most of my doctorate, I received Graduate Student Assistantships as a chemistry lab instructor. These allowed me to teach and apply my expertise toward improving the lab curriculum as well as mentor my peers. Florida Tech also provided a diverse number of extracurricular activities and organizations that helped with distractions from academic work and making friends. From an unforgettable study abroad trip to Peru to co-founding a club (Interdisciplinary Students Research Association) with my advisor's help to being a member of the FIT Bowling Club. I did it all. I will undoubtedly cherish great memories from my years at Florida Tech."
