I'm a native of Australia with a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Sydney University. I did postdoctoral research at Purdue and also here at ASU. After a couple of years back in Australia I was drawn back to ASU... I'm very much enjoying the outreach work in the department.

After finishing my Master’s degree in biochemistry and my Ph.D. in Berlin with the chloroplast ATPase, I spent the following years researching membrane transport at the medical department of the Free University Berlin. During that time I was teaching such diverse topics as electrochemistry for biologists or physiology for medical students. When I came to Arizona, I was happy to return to my “old love,” photosynthesis. Finally, I was lucky to be asked to teach a general chemistry lecture this year, as I always enjoyed teaching. I hope it shows.

I was born in Yuma, AZ, raised in Tacoma, WA and moved to Livonia, MI in 1990. I worked at Stevenson H.S. in Livonia for 15 years as a secretary in the attendance office. When we visited Phoenix in August of 2006 my husband and I fell in love with the area. I hope to work here for a long time as I really like all the people whom I work with and for.

I moved here from Louisiana in 1994 and have been working in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department since 1997. In 2006 I received my Ph.D. in chemistry under the advisement of Dr. James Allen and have since been managing the Protein X-Ray Diffraction Facility. In my spare time I enjoy cycling with my wife Kirstin and spending time in the great outdoors.

I received my Ph.D. from ASU in August, 2006, and have been teaching elsewhere during the interim. I am pleased to be returning to ASU as a lecturer in general chemistry. In my free time, I enjoy running and cycling.

After teaching for over 10 years I’m trying something new. I enjoy the lively atmosphere of the office and have met so many interesting people. In my spare time, I like to read, play with our two Scottish Terriers, and watch my daughters (both at ASU) participate in sports.

I graduated from Arizona State University in 2003 with a Bachelors in engineering. My family has been in Arizona since 1981. I am currently learning how to sew and understand Greek.

I received my Ph.D. from the ASU Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in 2004, after that I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix for two years. I returned in the spring of 2007 to teach general chemistry classes, which I really enjoy a great deal. I also work with the Biodesign Institute at ASU, doing research on generating alternative fuels.

I graduated from The University of Georgia with a BS Chem degree and came out to ASU for graduate school. Under the direction of Mark Hayes, I received my Masters in the summer of 2007. When given the opportunity, I chose to stay at ASU as a faculty associate, and look forward to participating in the general chemistry course redesign.

I recently moved here from Wisconsin. Go Packers.  Love spending time with my 3 kids and husband.  Before joining the Chemistry & Biochemistry Dept., I was a Payroll Specialist in HR.
