I am a forensic chemist at NMS Labs with a Master of Science Degree in Forensic Science from Arcadia University and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology from Stockton University. I started working for NMS right before graduating graduate school and have been there ever since. My degree in forensic science covered forensic chemistry, forensic biology, forensic toxicology, and trace analysis which required a great deal of understanding of the core sciences relating to these fields as well as the forensic application to them. As a practicing chemist, chemistry is, of course, the subject I am most passionate about and have the most knowledge and understanding for. It has always been an interest of mine in helping others understand complex topics. Helping people understand how these topics are relevant to the 'real world' and the scientific industry is a major part of my teaching philosophy because I believe this is the best way to truly learn rather than memorize. While I am new to the platform, I guarantee I will continue to be a positive influence for my new students and provide them with the support that they need.
