• Graduate Research Assistant

  • Aug 2015 - Jul 2021

  Over three semesters of teaching assistantship in undergraduate general chemistry I prepared pre-laboratory lectures for up to 90 students, provided technical demonstrations to groups and individuals, and evaluated student performance to provide constructive feedback. I received the Chemistry Department's "Best General Chemistry TA" award during my first year. My thesis research in biophysical spectroscopy involved the elucidation of protein dynamics using various forms of spectroscopy, with an emphasis on enzymatic catalysis and inhibition. I have had an interdisciplinary education, including training in equilibrium and kinetic evaluation of enzyme samples, time-resolved laser spectroscopy, protein crystallography, microfluidic manufacturing, and organometallic synthesis.

• Research and Development Intern Chemist

  • Jun 2014 - Jul 2014

  Mentored by a full-time process chemist, I worked in the epoxy and phenolic resins department on multiple confidential projects. I performed large-scale synthesis, both assisted and independently, and coordinated long-term standard industry studies, for which I implemented an organized testing schedule. Throughout my seven-week tenure, I presented during regular focus group meetings with scientists and project directors and at the conclusion I summarized my experience and project objectives and outcomes to a larger corporate audience.
