• • Feb 2021 - Jan 2023

  As area supervisor I validate analyst data and ensure that turn-around times are met. I work on set-up and optimization of new GC-FID methods as well as train new employees. I analyze/report data for semi-volatile compounds in water and soil matrices using GC-FIDs and GC-ECDs, following the EPA SW-846 8000 methods and 600 series methods.

• • May 2019 - Feb 2021

  Analysis of semi-volatile compounds from extracts of soil and water samples following the EPA SW-846 8270D method for chromatographic separation.

• • Feb 2020 - Jan 2021

  Scheduling and general supervision of the extractions laboratory technicians to ensure timely delivery of soil and water extracts to analysts, following the EPA SW-846 method in the 3500 series.

  • Dec 2013 - May 2019

  Working in the T. Randall Lee and Steven Baldelli research groups on the vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy of the solid-liquid interface between contacting liquids and fluorinated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers on metal surfaces to build up an understanding of these molecular-scale interactions and their influence on the macroscopic properties of thin films.
