“I continue to enjoy being able to help people improve their confidence in challenging courses like organic chemistry.”
Tallahassee native Sequoia Ernst is dedicated to pursuing research and helping others on their academic journeys.
During his time at Florida State University, Ernst has been involved in many aspects of research and community service, from being an Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) tutor, to taking part in the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) and presenting at the Florida Undergraduate Research Conference.
Ernst and two of his lab partners won an IDEA grant to fund their research on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase protein, a membrane-bound enzyme complex that creates reactive oxygen species which, in high concentrations, can contribute to heart disease. They studied how this protein affected blood flow in people with high body mass indexes.
He led a study group for Nikolay Tsvetkov’s organic chemistry class during which he found a passion for sharing his knowledge and helping other students.
