Day 0 Blog–Meet the TAs

Hello y’all,

  • It is your girl, Jada, and I’m here to be the life of the party.
  • I’m Martin Emerson. I just graduated from Purdue University with a major in biochemistry. Some of the highlights of college for me were working in a research lab and being a mentor for the Honors College. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and spending time outdoors. I am glad to be a TA for SSP this summer. 
  • My name is Favour, and I graduated from Hanover College with a chemistry major. I enjoy reading in my leisure time and am excited to meet everybody and learn about you. More importantly, I am excited about this integral SSP-building community!
  • My name is Hassan, and I am a rising senior at Johns Hopkins University, where I am studying biophysics and economics. On campus, I sing with the South Asian A Cappella team, serve the community as an RA and a peer-tutor, and do theoretical & computational biophysics research. Every summer of college, I have been involved in educational programs in hopes that I can inspire aspiring scientists just like I was by my mentors. I am excited to be a part of SSP this summer and be a resource for you all!

We are all going to have a fun couple of weeks together.

Yours truly,

Biochemistry 1 TAs
