  Performed wet lab tasks for the sequencing core facility at CU Boulder. Took samples from receive through QC, library preparation, sequencing, and data transfer. Managed inventory for the laboratory and assisted in laboratory maintenance. Hosted events and seminars on behalf of the core through 2018. Returned to the sequencing core in a higher level position in which I took on a larger role in complex experiment design, bioinformatics consulting for projects, and larger independence in working with clients. After COVID closures, I moved exclusively to developing data pipelines to automate bioinformatic analyses. Show less
