      Spent time with high school students, teachers, and counselors in order to discuss how to successfully transition to a college setting from high school. Took part in a college panel discussion where I expressed what key skills are required to be successful in a college setting. Shared how perseverance is one of the most important attributes an individual can have in order to achieve success.

      Synthesized templated oxide micelles which are nanoparticle templates with many uses such as catalyzing reactions. I operated with some independence when presented with the desired targets, such as developing a new synthesis route. Wrote internal summary paper on my research Synthesized templated oxide micelles which are nanoparticle templates with many uses such as catalyzing reactions.

      Synthesized bioreductively activatable pre-drug conjugates that are designed to target solid tumors, which are hypoxic in nature, with Kevin G. Pinney, Organic Chemistry Group. I gained expertise in the usage of both nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometers (MS). I operated under strict safety protocol with regards to sterilization and handling of dangerous materials (t-butyl lithium, reacts violently with air). Created and formally presented poster of research at Baylor University. Show less
