FAVORITE MEMORY
My favorite memories of being a chemistry graduate student was playing dodgeball with a great team. Whether we won or lost, it was always a great time to listen to some music, dodge some balls, and enjoy a free beer after.
BIOGRAPHY
I was born and raised in Idaho Falls, Idaho. It was there that I cultivated my love of learning. I attended the University of Notre Dame, where I graduated with a BS in Chemistry. I then came to Wisconsin to pursue a PhD in the same subject.
