<br/>Beginning my research trajectory in surface science, I was fascinated by the opportunity for discovery.  I also never envisioned that I would find a greater passion in chemical education research, a discovery and switch I made early in my career.  My work has since primarily focused on assessment development and associated measures extending into work examining methods for generating missing data, measuring the scale literacy of novice-level learners and examining differential performance by subgroup (with a focus on subgroups by sex).  Only through the excellent mentoring and guidance from enthusiastic collaborators excited to delve into unknown territory, have I been given the opportunity to truly discover my passion.   I will share some of the more recent work we are conducting including that at ACS Exams, with particular focus on how assessment items are utilized and the impact on assessment results.
