I am currently an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the Unversity of Southern Maine where I joined the faculty full time in 1999. Prior to 1999 I had been a part time member of the Chemistry Department at USM and held a research and development position at a local biotechnology firm. I earned my PhD in organic chemistry from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1990. The research projects currently underway in my laboratory involve bioconjugate chemistry, immunochemistry and organic synthetic methodology. The courses I have recently taught at USM include General Chemistry lecture and laboratory, Chemistry for the Health Sciences lecture and laboratory, and Organic Chemistry lecture and laboratory. There are many reasons why I love my job. Some of them include: a high level of excitement, I get to work on my own research, I believe that teaching science is a very noble career, working with students is awesome, and chemistry is a fun subject to teach. I do not feel that I have had to face any real serious barriers. Sometimes being a female in a male dominated profession is challenging but it has never prevented me from doing what needs to get done. I can say that I have had to continually work hard at everything I do but I don't consider that a barrier, because hard work has its rewards!
