Awards & Scholarships:

Coppenhaver Scholar Columbia, SC 5/2008- 8/2008

Received a fellowship to conduct research under Dr. Sheryl Wiskur. Research

focus was specifically on doing kinetic resolution of enamtiomeric

compounds. The project focused on separation of chiral molecules using a

chiral catalyst, and confirming the product by HPLC and crudely by 1H NMR.

DAAD - RISE Scholar Dortmund, GE 6/2006 - 8/2006

German REU program the focus of which was synthesizing monomers with urea

functionality that had fluorescent and colorimetric properties.

Community Service:

TUCS Scholarships for Undergrads Philadelphia, Pa March 2006

Created and coordinated a lecture that shows undergraduate students

available scholarships and the processes of application. In addition, TUCS

has continued to use this program even after my graduation from Temple

University.

Penrose Elementary School MLK Day Philadelphia, Pa February 2006

Demonstrated and taught simple chemistry experiments to Elementary

students, including chemistry using simple household items.

Temple University Haunted Dorms Philadelphia, Pa October 2005

Through student government, several groups of elementary students were

taken through the dorms so that they would have a safe environment to trick-

or-treat.
