The interdisciplinary nature of Biochemistry enhanced my critical thinking.
The teaching assistant positions I held at Mount Holyoke College and the University of Maryland helped me discover my passion for teaching and got me thinking about how to become an effective educator.
The background that I obtained with my biochemistry major and chemistry research at Mount Holyoke has enabled my success at Stanford. Having already done research at Mount Holyoke, I was prepared to read scientific literature, think critically, and work independently.
One skill I found very valuable from my time at MHC was my time spent teaching in PLUMS. The skill of teaching is very important when I TA a class or when I'm explaining my project to my lab mates.
I research surface characterization through the use of the atomic force microscope, ellipsometer, goniometer, and optical microscope.
Mount Holyoke College seniors covered a wide range of topics in presentations of their independent research at the tenth annual Senior Symposium.
