I grew up in Philadelphia, PA where I went to a local high school and was really involved with the instrumental music program (playing flute, oboe, and baritone saxophone) among some other clubs such as the school newspaper and tennis team.
I decided to move away to Trinity College in Hartford, CT (one of those small, New England colleges) for college where I was a double major in Biochemistry and Environmental Science. As a science major, I was able to do chemistry research with one of my professors and attend small conferences in the area. I still played instruments in college but got more involved with community service organizations and playing rugby.
In 2013, I was granted a Robert Noyce Fellowship from UMass Amherst where I received my Master's in Education and am very excited to be teaching chemistry and combining it with the arts! I feel that I can learn so much from my students and I hope that my students will be able to learn a lot from me as well as from each other. The world is constantly changing and seeing it with a more informed scientific eye will allow us all to contribute greatly to our future.
