Knowing that “why” and “how” start some of the greatest questions asked fuels my desire to discover. I thrive in an environment where the unknown exists, where answering one question produces three more questions. I approach problems with the goal of achieving a better way to perform a task, a self-proclaimed optimizer. I enjoy thoroughly the diverse applications of polymer chemistry and engineering. I aspire to become a technical expert in the field. I see my career taking me around the globe, working with technical experts in the polymer chemistry field and the chemical industry. In my spare time, I read incessantly and value recommendations. I also run and hike. Cooking delicious foods like homemade bread, adventurous cakes, and seasonal dinners takes up my time.
