Experience

McCormick & Co., Inc. April 2011 Present

n Laboratory Technician

At McCormick my work comprises the formulation and compounding of liquid flavors and complex seasoning blends. I

n

compound liquid flavors following proprietary formulas and protocols with precise measurement at the mg to kg scale. I

have acquired additional knowledge of natural products including the flavor attributes and impact of components in

product applications, material flow characteristics, etc. I have trained lab technicians as well as management on the

Batchmetrics weighing system. I have also worked in the McCormick Molecular Biology Laboratory on a volunteer basis

investigating the health benefits of spices and herbs. I have prepared media, maintained whole cell assay cultures and

tested samples using PCR, ELISA and microplate readers.

Laboratory Research at Towson University 2009 2010

n As an undergraduate research assistant at Towson University, I researched and tested growth hormone levels in veal.

Working under the guidance of Professor James Saunders we tested for zeranol and trenbolone, purified veal proteins

characterized through an ELISA assay with subsequent fluorometic analysis.
