Hello everyone! I am a freshman majoring in biology with plans to become a veterinarian. When I took my first chemistry class in high school I felt so lost. I love to help others and I want everyone to know that they can succeed in chemistry and any other classes they take. Off campus I like to hike, play video games with my friends, and spend time with my dog!

Hi guys!! I am a sophomore and I am super excited to be your guy LA. A little bit about me is that I like activities like snowboarding, soccer, tennis, and reading so if you guys want to talk about any of these subjects I would be so invested. I also am on a predental track so if you guys want any information on what life is like one year later than where you guys are at ask me anything (O-chem is hard by the way). Alright, see you guys in class.

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 we embark on this semester, I'm eager to offer my assistance to anyone who may need it. Please feel free to reach out!
