Personal Statement

Personal Statement

My goal is to keep improving people lives through the transforming power of the education. I try to accomplish this through communicating chemistry value, providing information solutions, supporting excellence in education and empowering students to become leaders in their communities. I am trying to accomplish this through various High impact Practices at different educational levels: undergraduate, high school, graduate and post-graduate. All of my activities are focused on the US workforce development. Additionally, in all of my initiatives, I promote the ideas of diversity, equity and inclusion.
