Education: Courses
Professional Development

At NC State University, I was accepted into the NIH Molecular Biotechnology Training Program (MBTP). This fellowship includes coursework in Biotechnology to complete a Biotechnology graduate minor, professional development coursework, a service project, and a 3 month industrial internship. 

 

As an undergraduate at Binghamton University, I was accepted into the McNair Scholars Program. This Federal TRiO program offers resources to low-income, first-generation or underrepresented students that wish to be involved in research and ultimately obtain a PhD.

TEACHING AND COMMUNICATION CERTIFICATE

Fall 2018 - 2020

​Completed over 100 hours of approved workshops and teaching hours or development series or other training activities, plus a personalized professional portfolio. The following workshops were completed:

  • Creating Inclusive Environments for Teaching and Learning

  • Tips for Managing the Classroom Environment

  • How to Deliver a Job Talk

  • How to Write a Statement of Teaching Philosophy

  • Student Success, Not Anymore

MOLECULAR BIOTECHNOLOGY TRAINING PROGRAM

Spring 2018 - 2020

Completed a capstone biotechnology course which offers case studies and the opportunity to work with students from different disciplines on a design project. Other course requirements during the traineeship include instruction in research ethics and professional development. Additionally, trainees create a service project to foster the development of biotechnology by encouraging this career route among K-12 or undergraduate students.

  • BIT 815: Professional Development

  • BIT 815: Research Ethics

  • BIT 815: Capstone Biotechnology

FOUNDATIONS IN TEACHING PROGRAM

Fall 2017 - Spring 2018

The FIT program is a one year course of study that offers graduate students a chance to demonstrate their commitment to teaching excellence through training, evaluation and recognition.  The FIT certificate is recognized by the graduate school.

McNAIR SCHOLARS PROGRAM

Summer 2016 - Spring 2017

I participated in the McNair Scholars Summer Research Internship Program where I conducted research in inorganic chemistry (PI - Dr. Jones), attended weekly seminar/events, and presented research at the annual McNair Conference at SUNY Buffalo. ​Throughout the year, I completed McNair professional development coursework which included weekly research updates and seminars for graduate school preparation.

Teaching

During my Ph.D., I had the opportunity to teach various organic chemistry courses and lab sessions. I've also spent several semesters tutoring, and I absolutely love inspiring future scientists and helping them develop their critical thinking skills!

A Teaching Assignment was required of my Ph.D. program, which I completed with upper level chemistry courses. As a TA, I presented lectures, created assessments, proctored/graded exams, and hosted weekly office hours for students.
