    Research Interests<\/h4>\n

    Her research concerns the design and synthesis of molecules with a specific biological purpose: to modulate how dopamine works in the brain. Because of her additional research interests in chemical education and pedagogy she works to improve organic chemistry laboratories and integrate polymer chemistry into the organic chemistry curriculum. Through the tutoring program she is assessing the efforts of additional practice problems on exam grades in both general and organic chemistry courses. Her skills in understanding effective chemical communication are put to use in writing and editing chemistry textbooks. Finally, her work with our Student Chapter of the American Chemical Society has led to her recent appointment on the Undergraduate Student Advisory Board of the ACS Committee on Education.<\/p>\n
