I graduated from Amherst College in 2020 with a BA in Biochemistry and a Five College Certificate in Culture, Health, and Science. Coming from a small, rural public high school in central Illinois, I was initially daunted by the preparation of my classmates. However, it was through my introductory STEM courses where I met my fiercest supporters and closest friends. Since then, I have been a teaching assistant for Introductory Biology and Chemistry courses for five semesters. Now, as the Biology Fellow, I want to help make your STEM experience as positive as possible. Please reach out with any questions. I’m excited to work with you!
