Volunteer Activities: I volunteer in a few different groups for chemistry-related activities, including mentoring, project seed, and CSW. I love all my positions, but I especially like working with CSW to create events as the YCC co-chair for younger chemists to explore the area, network, and have fun together. My favorite event last year was during National Chemistry Week, in which we painted pottery at a local small business. I am most looking forward to my involvement in co-chairing our local UNSCO to inspire and support some of the youngest chemists in the area!
Why did you become a member of CSW? I liked the idea of giving back to a community that has done so much for me and my career. I wanted the opportunity to inspire other younger chemists in the area and explore some of my more creative skills in event planning. Additionally, I have a colleague, Carissa Hunter, who I have seen do amazing events with the support of ACS. I felt inspired by her creativity and inclusivity and wanted the opportunity to do the same.
