Hi, welcome to my website. My background is in organic chemistry, and I am enjoying teaching here at Ithaca College. I have attended chemistry graduate school, and have worked as a medicinal chemist in the pharmaceutical industry, and as a consultant at a patent law firm, before arriving here. If I can be of any help to you in answering questions about my experiences, and what a career in chemistry might be like, please let me know.
