Pursuing a B.S. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at Kennesaw State University (Kennesaw, GA)
I am interested in understanding the mechanisms of biomolecule emergence through chemical evolution, and to someday apply that knowledge to improved methods for biomolecule synthesis.
In Loren Williams' Lab at Georgia Tech, I am developing methods for chemical labeling and tagging to improve identification of products from wet-dry cycling experiments.
Additionally, I am involved in enzymology research at Kennesaw State University with Dr. John Haseltine on examining how enzyme-inhibitor interactions are affected by long-range electronics and long-range orbital alignments. This research will potentially provide much needed insight on how to create better inhibitors for enzymes involved in bacterial and viral infections.
