Why I like Chemistry

Chemistry is life, also Chemistry is all about overcoming problems and having to create new ways to achieve your results which also builds your resilience and patience

Why I chose the Chemistry and Biochemistry Program at UW-Milwaukee

I chose the Chemistry and Biochemistry Program at UW-Milwaukee because I will get the chance to work on a project under the supervision of extraordinary, distinguished faculty, cutting-edge research facilities like the Shimadzu Analytical Instrumentation Laboratory and Research Center, and the excellent curriculum influenced my decision.

Favorite things to do in Milwaukee

My favorite things to do in Milwaukee are going out with friends, trying new restaurants, going to the lake, and going to bucks
