Starting college in 2010 I had absolutely no idea that I would grow to love chemistry. I have always been a fan of science and math, but I’ll admit, I stumbled into chemistry. When I first arrived at UNC Chapel Hill, I had a great entry-level chemistry professor. She encouraged me to switch majors from biology to chemistry…and everything since is history.

Deciding to rebrand my blog into a professional, personal space has truly become a passion project! I started realizing that within the last few years most of my social media posts have had a few common themes – education, science, and self-reflection. Here, I share some of my academic experiences, tips for navigating the academia-to-industry transition, and of course, scientific curiosities.
