I received my B.S. in Chemistry-Biology from West Chester University in 2023 and worked as a Forensic Analytical Chemist at the University of Pennsylvania for two years post graduation. For my research, I am interested in the characterization and separation of novel psychoactive substances using LC-MS. One fun fact about me is that I\u2019ve seen over 100 artists live in concert!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
