À propos
During my time as a graduate student in chemistry (University of Sussex), I was also employed as an Associate Tutor. In this role, I helped supervise students during lab practicals, taught them how to use laboratory equipment, and showed them how to follow synthetic procedures from the literature. I also helped supervise master’s students during their final year research projects. I often marked lab reports and assisted my supervisor with the smooth running of seminars. I enjoy helping people and it makes me happy to watch students master new concepts.
I previously obtained an MSc in pharmacognosy from the UCL School of Pharmacy (2014) in London. This program entailed a combination of courses touching upon topics in natural products chemistry, pharmacology, and ethnobotany. My final project involved screening natural and synthetic compounds against bacterial strains. I also have 3 years (2010-2013) of experience working in a pharmacy where I dispensed medications under a pharmacist’s supervision, so I am familiar with the many classes of medications.
I graduated from Old Dominion University (2012) with a BS in biology (major) and chemistry (minor). Aside from the core biology courses, I also took electives in botany, ethnobotany, and plant ecology. After graduating, I spent a year working with rare cultivars of orchids in a private botany laboratory. This entailed tasks such as sterile plant tissue culture and inducing polyploidy in orchids using the drug colchicine.
