Hello everyone! My name is Aaron, and I'm currently in my senior year, majoring in psychology. I took General Chemistry 1 and 2 with Dr. Maron and it was a lot of work, but it was worth it in the end. If I can do it then you can do it even better! When I'm outside of school, I like to be outside and experience new places, try new foods, and go out to raves (CHYL, ISO XO, and Dabin are my favorites). Chemistry is a tough subject, so be gentle on yourself! If you need anything, please reach out to me or any of the other LA's we're all here to help!

Stephanie White
I am a third-year student working towards a bachelor's degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. I took General Chemistry II with Dr. Maron, and my positive experience in her class increased my love of the subject, and led to my increased involvement in CU Denver's chemistry department. I pursued becoming an LA to follow in the footsteps of fantastic mentors I've had that taught me how to see the beauty of chemistry through the occasional complexity. I love learning, and I never want to become stagnant. While some concepts may appear daunting, it’s crucial to recognize that we all possess the capacity to master the material presented to us, but we first have to give ourselves patience and time. The best part is that we are not alone in this journey! I find chemistry fascinating, and it brings me joy teaching others about the subject. Please don't hesitate to ask for help!

Hello Everyone! I'm thrilled to be here as a Senior majoring in biology with minors in both chemistry and biochemistry, while also pursuing my third in psychology on the pre-medical track. Having completed both Biochemistry I and II, under the guidance of Dr. Kim, I found the experience profoundly rewarding. This comprehensive understanding not only enhances my performance in related subjects but also effectively prepares me for upcoming graduate exams and future academic pursuits. Moreover, I must say that Biochemistry has been one of my favorite classes; its engaging content and structured approach have truly made it a standout experience for me. Outside of academics, I cherish moments spent with loved ones and enjoy staying active through workouts and sports, as well as delving into a good book. As we embark on this semester, I'm eager to offer my assistance to anyone who may need it. Please feel free to reach out!
