I have a B.S. and Ph.D. in Chemistry, and I did my postdoctoral fellowship in renewable energy, a passion that I carried forward into my professional career.
In addition to product development, I have experience with Scrum and Agile methodologies. I am both a certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner.
Postdoc work: Investigate the H2 oxidation−production mechanism catalyzed by proton relays in the Ni(P2N2)2 class of molecular electrocatalysts and understand the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) mechanism as it applies to electrochemical catalysis using Marcus Theory extended to electrochemical PCET. Experience in programming (Python and Fortran) and in using computational software programs. Work is in collaboration with a group at Pacific Northwest National Lab as part of an Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) – Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis that is funded by the Department of Energy for fundamental research on sources of renewable energy.

Pennsylvania State University (University Park, Pa.)
Thesis work: theoretical infrared and photoelectron spectroscopy and reaction dynamics of systems that exhibit large amplitude motion: "Spectroscopy and Dynamics of Weakly-bound Anions Using Full- and Reduced-dimensional Theoretical Models.” Experience in programming (Fortran) and in using computational software programs. Halide-water work is in collaboration with Dr. Mark A. Johnson (Yale University), and Cu−(CD3OD) and IBr−/IBr−(CO2) work is in collaboration with Dr. W. Carl Lineberger (JILA and the University of Colorado).
Dr. Anne B. McCoy
The Ohio State University (Columbus, Oh.) – magna cum laude
Research mentoring: In a study involving M+(CH2O) and M+(NH2CH2COOH) [M = Li, Na, K], an undergraduate research student in our group and I worked closely to examine the molecular impact of the cation’s presence, focusing, in particular, on its effects on the C=O stretch frequency and intensity.

Undergraduate thesis: Synthesized and modified chiral organic compounds for their possible use in developing new pharmaceuticals. Exposed to a variety of analytical techniques (TLC; GC, normal and chiral phase; IR; and NMR).
Dr. John Struss.
University of Tampa (Tampa, Fla.) – magna cum laude with honors distinction
REU experience: Prepared a new technique for measuring surface reactivity and concentration. Gained knowledge with such instrumental techniques as X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Auger Electron Spectroscopy, Temperature Programmed Desorption, as well as other surface chemistry techniques.

What is a Product Owner? Product owners have a unique and demanding role on agile teams. A product owner decides what the team will create next to deliver more value to the customer. As Certified Scrum Product Owners (CSPOs), we learn the framework, principles, and values that make scrum work, plus key skills and tools that we need to be effective. We know how to juggle multiple stakeholders’ needs, have hands-on practice creating product visions, and learn new ways to get to know our customers so that we can choose the right next piece of value to bring to market for them.

What is a Scrum Master? A scrum master is the scrum team member tasked with fostering an effective and productive working environment and guiding others to understand scrum values, principles and practices. Scrum masters tend to be people-oriented, have a high level of emotional intelligence, and find joy in helping team members to grow.
