Outreach
Keep Wisconsin Warm
Through my role as President of Women in Chemistry, I created Keep Wisconsin Warm, a program focused on providing a safe space to bond over the common interest of knitting while giving back to the Madison community. In the first year of the program, we made 120 donations of handmade items, with our most recent this past December to Porchlight Homeless Shelter. I am thrilled by the success and continued evolution of this program, the impact it will have on charities around Madison, and the large network of scientists it will continue to bring together.
Women in Chemistry
As President of Women in Chemistry, I strive to build a strong community of women within the department. I participate in a number of outreach events through this organization and have hosted seminar speakers from other universities.
WIC is important to me because…
The only way progress can be made is if students from underrepresented communities unite to overcome barriers and make our chemistry community a safer environment for those who follow after us. WIC has given me the opportunity to participate in this movement to make the culture at UW-Madison more welcoming for future female students.
Scientific Glassblowing
In Fall of 2024 I had the opportunity to take a scientific glassblowing course through the department of chemistry. During the course I created test tubes, a manifold, distillation apparatus, bubbler, and a kaliapparat. I continue to use my skills to create glassware for my research lab and participate in outreach events through the glassblowing shop.
