My name is Nicki Stewart, and I am a chemist! I graduated from the University of Louisiana Monroe in 2022 with a bachelors degree in chemistry, focused in forensic chemistry. I currently attend the University of North Texas and am a graduate student in their chemistry program. After years of study within traditional bench laboratory research, I was ready to branch out and soon began my journey into chemistry education research. While chemistry is where I have found my purpose, my true motivation lies in ensuring students can enjoy the process of learning and understanding chemistry.
