Ruth’s Story
Teaching Discipline
Chemistry
Why Chemistry
“I love that literally everything in our world can be explained through a chemical lens. Further, chemistry is unique because it requires both content knowledge and scientific skills, such as asking critical questions, making evidence-based claims, and analyzing data. I hope to share my passion for chemistry with my students and support them in developing scientific skills to become exemplary scholars and citizens.”
