Summary
Aspiring graduate student with a background in chemistry, and nearly five years experience in a team based work environment. I earned a B.S. in Chemistry from Central Connecticut State University in 2024, and am looking to further my education. I believe that the MEXT scholarship program could be the perfect opportunity for me to pursue my interest in chemistry while also exploring another country, learning and appreciating it's culture in the process.
