Amber is a hard worker with an insatiable curiosity about the world around her. When I studied with her, she had a real knack for explaining complicated concepts, and always went above and beyond to make sure that everyone (students, colleagues, random strangers..) was able to grasp the research at hand. I would recommend Amber for anything involving chemistry, or involving explaining scientific ideas to others.

      Analytical skills strengthened by observing the conditions under which DNA-polymer conjugates form stable micelles to control molecular guest release. Motivated independent researcher, creating stable PNA-DNA-Gold nanoparticle conjugates for the quantitative detection of target nucleic acid sequences. Product and market knowledge gained by working with sales representatives to select the best product for our program and obtain quotes, decreasing expenses up to 20%.
