The latest event was in April where our local section hosted a table at a K12 educator event to showcase all ACS and the American Association of Chemistry Teachers has to offer.
Nationally, I have chaired both the Women Chemists Committee and the Committee on Membership Affairs, and currently I am a member of the Committee on Budget and Finance. In addition, I have served as a Trustee on the Board of Trustees for the ACS Member Insurance Program. Service in these roles has given me a deep and broad knowledge of the ACS and the opportunity to hone my leadership skills.
I am also a faculty member and administrator in the department of chemistry at NC State University, the largest R1 university in North Carolina. I teach general and physical chemistry, and lead the department’s operations, facilities, and safety.
If elected, my focus will be on building ACS’ efforts and resources in three areas: First, support the development and dissemination of resources for educators and chemists in the workforce in response to the rapid transformation of AI in our classrooms and profession. Second, amplify efforts of ACS to address the continued erosion of funding for, and trust in, scientific discovery. And third, address the substantial headwinds we face in our membership base by improving programs which enhance member retention and engagement. Progress in these areas will better position us for the future of chemistry and provide better value to all members.
