-: So the University of Minnesota is my alma mater.
So it was really where
I really found my passion for chemistry.
Prior to the University of Minnesota
I went to a couple other schools,
you know, and I wasn't really able to find my niche
until I came to the university.
And I think the teachers there are very supportive,
and the systems that they have in place are wonderful.
And so I feel like the school
has really prepared me well for my career.
I think that it's an excellent school
where you get to go out there
and put your hands into research as well.
Because at the University of Minnesota,
I worked as a T.A. in the chemistry department.
I was able to have an undergraduate research project,
in which I got a grant,
and got to do some research with a principal investigator,
so someone that helped me direct me studies.
So, it's been really really good for me,
and having that ability to get into research,
at the undergraduate level, has been really awesome.
