I am a chemist have life long love of teaching others chemistry and working with students. I While attending the University of Utah I taught general chemistry, organic chemistry, and nursing chemistry to students at the University through the Supplemental Instruction. While working as a chemist, I found ways to continue teaching by volunteering to teach students and co-workers about chemistry and mass spectrometry. I also taught several pathologist and medical laboratory directors across the country with my work through the American Association of Clinical Chemistry. I have also worked with high school students through volunteer work through Girl Scouts of Utah and Murray High School.
