Before attending the WashU graduate chemistry program, I had a general understanding of spectroscopic techniques and laboratory practices. With the availability and advantages of one-on-one mentoring, interdisciplinary opportunities, and access to advanced instrumentation, I have developed an array of skills necessary for success in a competitive scientific field. The diverse range of research groups available in the WashU chemistry department allowed me to find research projects that not only captivated my interests, but provided the unique challenges needed to cultivate experiences that were truly rewarding.
