• Lab Assistant

  • Sep 2016 - May 2018

  RTP As a Lab Assistant I performed all of the duties I performed as an intern as well as more administrative work such as keeping the schedule up to date. I also coordinated the Science-on-the-Go program which allowed employees to take advantage of our curriculum outside of the lab.

• Community Lab Intern

  • May 2016 - Aug 2016

  Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Area I was responsible for the cleanliness, organization, and stock of the entire laboratory. I prepped for all of the educational summer programs that included advanced molecular biology techniques. I also wrote and tested the SOPs for the programs. I helped teach the curriculum for our summer programs and demonstrated lab techniques.
