Ke'La Kimble

My father did his best to plant the idea of going to college in my head at an early age, so as far as I can remember I knew I would be in higher education. Although my career path has changed from lawyer to gynecologist to accountant to chemist, he always kept my mind focused on the long run and doing what makes me happiest. I grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and almost hated the idea of science until taking my first chemistry course. My success in that class prompted me to take a second chemistry course in high school and I finally choose it as my degree option at Xavier University of Louisiana- where I recently received my BS in Chemistry with a minor in Math this past May.
