My Chemistry Outlook

Chemistry is the practice of discovering and building upon existing pathways to explain phenomena and solve a wide range of problems around the world. Now more than ever, research projects focused on green chemistry and sustainability are integral to bettering the future of our planet and our health. Seeking education in these topics and enlightening our peers is the only way we will successfully face new challenges and design innovative solutions. 

Advancing

Undergraduate research 

My research experience expanded my knowledge in polymer modification, sustainable safe solvents, synthesis, and greener chemistry. Beyond amplifying my understanding on those topics, research also strengthened my method of approach and perseverance to problem solving

Influencing

Upcoming generations

As an undergraduate peer-led team learning (PLTL) leader, my job focused on strategically reinforcing organic chemistry concepts for students at all levels of comprehension. This role called for engaging ways to teach whether sessions were in person or over Zoom. 

Connecting

With the community

Sparks of curiosity and scientific discussions get generated when distinctive interactions happen between the science community and the public. Our student chapter used this concept to come up with captivating ways to connect to people and to further grow our organization.
