I was honored to be selected for Auburn University's Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program, hosted by the Biggio Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning. This professional development initiative was designed to help graduate students navigate the academic job search process. Weekly seminars covered topics such as identifying suitable faculty positions, preparing application materials, and getting ready for interviews, as well as broader discussions on developing a professional identity. Upon completion, I earned the "Distinguished Future Faculty" digital badge in recognition of my commitment to excellence and for exceeding the program’s standard requirements. 

I am honored to have been selected by a special committee of the Graduate Council as one of Auburn University’s Outstanding Doctoral students. This award is presented annually to a select group of doctoral students who have demonstrated exceptional academic performance, research excellence, and meaningful contributions to the university and broader community. Being selected for this award reflects my commitment to scholarly achievement and service. 

I was honored to be nominated as a Full Member of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society. Sigma Xi membership is solely by invitation (nomination) and recognizes researchers whose scholarly achievements have meaningfully advanced scientific knowledge in their fields.   

The Advancing Science Conference Grant is awarded to graduate and undergraduate students in chemistry and chemical engineering to support their attendance and presentation of research at the annual NOBCChE national meeting. I am honored to have received this award for the Fall 2024 annual meeting in Orlando, FL.

This award provides travel funds for College of Science and Mathematics graduate students to present their research at scientific meetings. This award was granted to support my attendance at the American Chemical Society's (ACS) Spring 2023 national meeting in Indianapolis, IN.
