Experiences at Illinois State University

Most of my work was in production at the aquaculture facility. Here I would clean, care for and transport the fish in preparation for human comsumption. Occasionally, I would help feed the beef cattle and milk the dairy cattle around the holidays.

I was the primary instructor for sections of Introduction to Chemistry labs and also worked as a teaching assistant for Chemistry 112, Organic Chemistry I and Organic Chemistry II.

I recieved a BS in Agriculture while working at the University Farm (aquaculture building) and working in Dr. Walker's Animal Nutrition Lab.

I recieved a BS in chemistry and started a MS in chemistry while I also conducted research and worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant.

I was in charge of a Macintosh computer lab. I assisted students by assisting them in any problem they experienced with the computer hardware or software.

This was my second degree at ISU.

President of the Technical Association of the Graphic Arts - 2 years

Awarded Graphic Communications Most Outstanding Student 2006-2007 school year.

While at Illinois State, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Management with a focus on Organizational Leadership. I also took a set of classes to receive a concentration in Business Information Systems.

I took several classes in order to help prepare myself for an intended career in public health, specifically in policy formation and implementation on from the local to the international level.

I was a member of Dr. Richard Nagorski's research group for two and a half years while completing a second major in biochemistry/molecular biology. I was also a member of the honors program.
