I earned a PhD in Chemistry from Texas A&M University. After graduation, I began a college teaching career that has spanned eighteen years. My experience as a chemistry lecturer enables me to excel at disseminating highly technical information in a clear, concise manner for a wide range of audience types. I’ve also learned how to adapt as situations change—flexibility is key.

I am a determined problem solver, a skill that stems from my naturally analytical mindset. My quick absorption of complex new concepts allows me to explain them to students with varying levels of existing knowledge.
The satisfaction of witnessing someone reaching the right answer and having that eureka moment is a strong motivator for me.

Teaching and communication require a certain dedication to understanding and helping people. I am a highly extroverted person by nature, consistently complimented for my upbeat and enthusiastic approach. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and positively impacting their day, even in the smallest of ways. I am a firm believer that attitude means everything in a professional setting. As Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t—you’re right.”
