Master chemistry with a former Case Western Reserve University instructor. Stop surviving chemistry and start commanding it. As a PhD chemist and educator with a decade of experience across universities and community colleges, I realized students don't need more lectures: They need better systems. I create the high-fidelity, lightboard-driven videos I wish I had as a student: step-by-step methods that eliminate guesswork.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the great suggestions on where to send my textbook stash! After looking at the options, I've decided to send these to the International Book Project.
As a professor, it's painful to see good books go to waste. I'm covering the shipping cost to get these to their headquarters, but if you want to support their mission to get this into classrooms that need them the most, you can chip in here: intlbookproject.org/make-a-donation/
p.s. The cat is strictly for moral support and is not included in the donation.🐾
