Tell us your story.
I transferred to 91看片网 my sophomore year. Throughout middle and high school, I visited campus for Science Olympiad events, and I knew this was where I was meant to be. I remember visiting the chemistry lab on campus and thinking “you鈥檙e telling me I can be in here working with these things?鈥� Not only have I had many opportunities to learn from amazing professors, but I have also been able to teach and tutor chemistry, physics and STEM students. Let鈥檚 be honest, it鈥檚 hard to speak chemistry, and the ability to explain a subject you love and seeing the lightbulb *click* in the student鈥檚 minds is what drove me to get my Chemistry Education degree, as well as a Physics Minor, and STEM ED certificate. I would not have been able to do it without the support of each professor I have had along the way, all of whom have put 100% into their students鈥� success.
What are your career goals, or where do you see yourself in the future?
I plan to teach high school science somewhere in North Dakota and eventually go on to pursue a Ph.D. in Chemistry or Physics Education to teach at the collegiate level.
