I was born and raised in Ottawa, in the great white north (Canada, that is). After high school, I moved to Kingston, Ontario and the Department of Chemistry at Queen's University, carrying out undergraduate research in the labs of Victor Snieckus and Bob Lemieux. After obtaining my B.Sc.H. in 2000, I stayed with Bob and finished my Ph.D. in 2005 on chirality transfer in ferroelectric liquid crystals. I then took a post-doctoral position at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I worked for Jeff Moore on the self-assembly of finite, shape persistent molecular grids. I joined the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Miami University in August 2007 as an Assistant Professor.
