PhD. in Inorganic Chemistry, 2005 Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah   M. S. in Analytical Chemistry, 1999 Idaho State University B. S. in Chemistry, 1999 Idaho State University   Other: Postdoctoral Fellow (Materials Chemistry / Organic Chemistry), 2005-2007 Idaho State University Internship at NAIR (National Industrial for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research), 2001 Tsukuba Science City, Japan

I was born and raised in Pocatello.  I graduated from Idaho State University in 1999 with my BS/MS in Analytical Chemistry and in 2001 performed an internship in Tsukuba Japan at the NAIR (National Industrial for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research) developing molecular switches.  In 2005 I graduated from Brigham Young University-Provo with my Doctorate in Inorganic Chemistry specializing in cation and anion separations from hazardous waste systems.  From 2005-2007 I was a visiting faculty member at Idaho State University teaching general chemistry and performing postdoctoral work in material development of next generation solar cell technology.
