I've always been a chemistry nerd. When 99% of people were taking organic chemistry just to get into medical school, I was the one taking it because I wanted to get a PhD in it. And I did! Even after I graduated and ended up working primarily in the business world, I still missed teaching organic chemistry. I missed telling people how cool it was, how amazing reaction mechanisms are, and how it's actually not that hard to get good at it if you have the right help. So, I started tutoring again on the side, and I started this website.

Other fun facts about me:

• I'm a mom of four including a set of twins.

• I live in Canada but I've spent time living in Spain and Germany.

• My favorite reaction is the Sonogashira cross coupling reaction.
