I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Iowa State University. I performed synthetic organic chemistry research in Dr. Levi Stanley's group, researching rhodium-catalyzed hydroacylation and conjugate addition conditions. I'm currently starting my PhD in Organic Chemistry at Texas A&M University with Dr. Kevin Burgess, working with the EKO process.

I'm interested in positions dealing with chemical or biomedical research. I also have experience with programming in several languages and worked as a TA for the Wine, Beer, and Spirits class at Iowa State University.

I spent two years as a Computer Science student at Iowa State University and still enjoy programming. You can check out my homework and personal projects (including this website) on my GitHub.

In my (sometimes rare) spare time, I enjoy taking photos and working in Photoshop. I love to take photos at night and capturing photos of people in natural settings.

I spent a year and half in Iowa State's design program, designing all sorts of projects. I still do freelance design projects.

I spend a good amount of time reading and occasionally writing about foreign policy, current affairs, science, or just things going on in my life.
