In my time within the Biology Department, the College of Science awarded me several travel grants that gave me the opportunity to attend and present my scientific research at conferences and express my passion in STEM education. These experiences helped guide and shape not only my interest in genetics, but also my future career path in science education.

I started at UNT as a freshman in 1958 and left in 1967 after earning UNT's very first chemistry Ph.D. It was an excellent program and enabled me to get a job right after graduation. Over the years, I worked on the development of new technologies such as ink jet printing and liquid crystal displays, LCD. In fact, when I worked at Texas Instruments, I helped create the first LCD watch that TI later sold to Casio.
