"As a physical chemist, I work with mathematical models that can become computationally intensive. At my day job, I apply my programming skills in MatLab and Python to create animations, simulations, and programs for my colleagues to use. I also created our company's time-tracking software. My expertise in programming comes not only from the courses I have completed but also from extensive practical experience.

Before accepting my current position, I worked as a community college instructor. I have taught general and organic chemistry to a large number of students. Teaching in the diverse community college setting helped me hone my communication skills; I learned to present information in a variety of ways and to make the material relevant to my students.

I am able to help with basic coursework in Python or Matlab. I can help debug code, offer suggestions on algorithms, or explain programming principals." less...
