I’m going to miss the vibrant community at UNC Charlotte, especially the friendships I’ve built with my lab members and our shared passion for discovery. Burson (Chemistry Building) is filled with cherished memories—late hours tackling projects, engaging discussions with Lab members, and those illuminating moments during research. The collaborative spirit and unwavering support from the faculty have been crucial in shaping my education and motivating me to excel. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of Chemistry but has also equipped me with the skills and confidence to pursue my goals. I’m truly grateful for every moment spent here at UNC Charlotte and the lifelong connections I’ve made along the way.

A heartfelt thanks to my PhD supervisor, Dr. Michael G. Walter, for being an incredible mentor. His encouragement and inspiration have truly ignited my interest in illicit drug detection and photo-chemical sensing in Chemistry. His unwavering support has made all the difference in my research journey. I look forward to continuing this path, fueled by his guidance and expertise. Thank you for everything!
