Current Professional Interests
I am a physical chemist specializing in computational chemistry. My current research interests include using molecular simulation to model phase equilibria in dense fluid systems, examine structural changes in fluids near solid surfaces, and investigate atmospheric nucleation.
Personal Biography
Originally from Seattle, I have recently completed my graduate studies at the University of Minnesota and am looking forward to warmer winters! In addition to chemistry, I enjoy being outdoors, reading, knitting, and traveling. I am excited to join the Roanoke community.

Chemistry Research Brings Insights into Classroom
“Because of my Proctor & Gamble experience, I can better convey to students what it’s like to conduct research in an industrial setting.”
