Past Board Members 

Garrett LewGarrett.jpg

Born and raised in Queens, New York, my passion for chemistry (and science in general) developed when I went to high school at the Bronx High School of Science. I am a Senior majoring in chemistry and am simply fascinated by how things work. My passion has evolved not into research itself, but the desire to motivate and inspire others to join our quest to expand our knowledgeof chemistry and how the universe works, which is why I feel a special connection to tutoring students in chemistry, especially at the University Neighborhood High School.  I was last year’s webmaster and am delighted to be back in an even larger role.
