My name is Joel Gray and I am an educator who enjoys finding new ways to connect with my students and new ways to connect my students to their material.

As a student, I always felt like an outsider because it seemed like everything came so easily to my peers. The homework that I would spend hours on would take them a fraction of the time! Turns out one of the biggest issues was that I just did not know how to design mental models that would work for me in chemistry and biochemistry.

I'm glad to just work through your assignments with you but I also want to help you develop mental models that will help you be successful in this class and beyond!

I've taught chemistry, biochemistry, and biology courses at the college level for nearly 20 years.

I have a PhD in Biochemistry from Texas A&M University, Whoop! I have a BS in Biochemistry from Texas State University, Eat 'em up Cats!
