What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in organic chemistry or education where I can apply my expertise in a collaborative environment focused on innovation and student development.

I am a dedicated Teaching Assistant with a strong academic background in Organic Chemistry, holding an MS degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and an MSc from Panjab University. My graduate research focused on the synthesis of versatile building blocks for macrocycle preparation and transannular interactions in cyclodecane derivatives.

Professionally, I have experience as a Teaching Assistant at UW-Milwaukee, where I taught chemistry labs and discussion classes. I also worked as a Trainee Chemist at Dr. Reddy’s lab, contributing to projects related to anti-asthma and anti-infective medications. My responsibilities included reaction planning, product characterization using NMR and HPLC, and presenting research findings.

I am passionate about education and have volunteered as a teacher at Jackson Elementary School, fostering an engaging learning environment. I am eager to leverage my theoretical and practical expertise in a challenging chemistry role that emphasizes teamwork and independent contributions.
