Bio

Hello! My name is Amy, and I am a woman in STEM constantly expanding my grasp on the world around me to develop myself in preparation for a budding career. I've found a passion for chemistry in the classes I've taken at school, so I'm hoping to pursue this in the future. My strengths primarily lie in my tenacity through tough times, ability to creatively solve problems, and putting 110% of my effort into the work I produce. In my free time, I enjoy watching and making comedy, nature photography, and learning about the Hudson River. My favorite animal from the Hudson River is oysters because they filter an incredible amount of water!
