The National Nuclear Chemistry Summer School (NNCSS) has served as a pipeline to allow undergraduate students to receive teaching and training in nuclear chemistry that is often unavailable at the undergraduate level. This talk will focus on my experience as a student in the NNCSS and how that has shaped my career. Under the guidance of Dr. Trish Baisden, I was introduced to the breadth of the nuclear field and given the foundational knowledge necessary to pursue a career in actinide chemistry. The professional connections I forged at the NNCSS facilitated my summer internship at the University of Notre Dame with Dr. Peter C. Burns, which ultimately lead to me becoming a PhD student with Dr. Burns. The NNCSS launched my career in nuclear chemistry and the network provided by the school is a continued asset to my professional development.
