Ph.D. Chemist | Passionate Educator | Science Enthusiast

Welcome! I have a passion for teaching and a knack for explaining complex concepts in a way that's easy to understand. I’m here to share the kind of chemistry lessons I wish I had as a student.

I hold a Ph.D. in chemistry and have extensive experience teaching general and organic chemistry. I’ve worked with students from high schools, community colleges, and large research universities. Along the way, I’ve gained a deep appreciation for how essential it is to make chemistry accessible and engaging for everyone.

This channel is dedicated to helping students at the high school and undergraduate levels, but it’s also for anyone who has a curiosity about science and how the world works. My mission is to boost science literacy, and I’m here to make learning chemistry enjoyable and straightforward.
