About

I decided to study chemistry because chemistry is simply the study of change. I grew up having dreams of one day changing the world with a new invention that would help millions of people. The experience that one person can have by touching the lives of thousands is something that lasts for a lifetime. I truly believe chemical engineering will provide me with the opportunity and knowledge to assist others by creating new drugs or new ways to efficiently increase the energy production of Organic Solar Panels.
