Experience
I scored a 5.0 on my AP Chem exam which allowed me to exempt my Freshman year of chemistry, but I took it anyway to keep my skills sharp! I served as a lab instructor at UGA from 2003-2004 after completing the coursework for my undergraduate degree but before even graduating because I had been such an outstanding student. At UC Berkeley, I served as a graduate student instructor for Chem 3B and Chem 112B for three semesters. For two of these semesters, I was awarded the campus's Outstanding GSI award, a distinction only awarded to a few GSIs across all disciplines. I was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow, which helped me fund my graduate school experience. I was also awarded a Barry Goldwater Scholarship for excellence in undergraduate science research.
