I graduated with my bachelors degree in chemistry from Old Dominion University (2020-2022) where I worked under Dr. Kyle Lambert. For research there I worked on a project developing new methods of borrowing hydrogen catalysis inspired by alkaloid natural products. I also helped develop a method for oxidizing thiols to disulfides with oxoammonium salts, and aided the publication of an oxoammonium salt oxidation lab designed for undergraduates. My current research centers on synthesizing organic molecules and incorporating them into new perovskite related materials.
