As part of an REU collaboration between Pacific University and The University of Arizona, I spent January 2002 in Arizona doing research in Dr. Jeanne Pemberton's group. This picture is of my undergraduate advisor Dr. Kevin E. Johnson and myself doing surface enhance Raman scattering (SERS) to analyze how electrolytesolutions arrange at electrode surfaces in lithium-ion batteries as a function of surface potential.            YAY!! Graduation!! I am amazed that Kevin
            let me have a picture with him after graduation
           since it was the night before that we did the
           chemistry senior prank (see picts below!!)
          
Sorry Nipoon-- Bet you thought no one saved this... I know- horrible photo editing, but lets just say Nipoon wasn't too happy when Rouli and I printed this off and posted it around the Pacific chemistry department
Before graduating all of us "chem nerds" put EtOH
molecules on our hats... molecular model kit-- not the
malibu sitting on the counter. This is me, Rouli, Rachel,
and Kristy.

 

More graduation stuff- Nipoon's
looking a bit sleepy- maybe just
too many pictures that day
The night before graduation is traditionally the chemistry prank night We had lots of fun "decorating" Dr. Whitely HATES veggies, so we of course thought it would be logical to decorate his office with them- Unfortunately the tape didn't hold so they were all on the floor by the next morning...
Yes I am a chem nerd- here with the ACS mascot the mole and another PU student Brandy. This conference was in San Diego...never stay at Hotel San Diego if you are ever there ;)            I mentioned before that I was also a music major as an    
           undergraduate. This picture was at my senior recital with
          my friend Teresa who played a song with me.
Again at my senior recital... this time with my
very cool flute professor Steve Kravitz

 

I do get outdoors every once in a
while (even if I am pasty white). This
is at Silver Falls, OR one of my fav hikes
Again Silver Falls- you can walk behind
some of the waterfalls as you can see in
the picture above.
Every New Years (for the past 4 years) I
have gone out with Shayne and Nipoon and
various other people- but always us 3.
LOOK!! I am a blonde!! New Years' with Nipoon... I think I was still sober when this picture was taken

 

One of my bestest friends bEnJamIn Another bestest friend Bryan-- he
has put up with me since high school
imagine that!!
 
Yet another bestest friend Karoline
who was a roommate my freshman and
sophomore years.
Nipoon and his girlfriend Manon
another roommate of mine

 

My parents got a puppy "McDougall"
in the fall of 2001.
One of Doogie's favorite places (and
one of mine) is the beach
Doogie gets in trouble sometimes...
actually there was food taped to the wall
so we could take the picture ;)
My mom makes Doogie play dress up
quite a bit... don't you feel sorry for him?
