Education

Although my career goal is to earn my Ph.D. in Medicinal chemistry, in my daily life I love to help others. For example, I baked cookies for a friend who was having a rough week. I always lend an ear and a shoulder to my friends in need. I currently work as a tutor for General Chemistry II and help other students in chemistry classes ranging from General Chemistry I to Organic to Physical Chemistry. I want to connect my love of helping people with my degree in a broader way than becoming a chemistry teacher. In this process, I researched pharmaceuticals and medicinal chemistry. Finally, I discovered medicinal chemistry which unites my love for synthesis and helping people perfectly.
