Relevant Work Experience:

Teaching Assistant, Cleveland State University, Cleveland OH - August 2013 - Present

Teaching assistant for the physical chemistry labs. Responsible for all aspects of teaching the courses, such as writing the syllabus, grading reports, communicating through Blackboard, an online course management system, providing instruction, and maintaining the teaching lab. Rewrote entire curriculum for both semesters to better supplement materials taught in lecture as well as using current techniques. Helped obtain three new computers, a magnetic susceptibility balance, and an FT-IR for the physical chemistry lab. Helped develop two new experiments that lead to publications in the chemical education literature, one published and one pending.

Instructor for Survey of Physical Chemistry lecture, 2015 - 2017. Responsible for creating the curriculum, performing lectures, writing and grading assessments, and assigning final grades.

Graduate Assistant, Cleveland State University, Cleveland OH - August 2013 - Present

Development of a molecular model for ternary prothrombinase complex using homology modeling, experimental data, and molecular dynamics simulations. Mutational analysis via molecular dynamics simulations to determine important interaction sites between the enzyme and substrate, implementing MM/PBSA analysis for binding energies and residue interaction networks to determine the impact of common mutations. Received largest computational grant in the history of the university from the Ohio Supercomputing Center in support of this research.

Research Student, The Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute, Cleveland OH - May 2012 - July 2013

Investigation of the possible post-translational methylation of the arginine mutation of methionine 196 in tumor necrosis factor alpha. Involved in PCR primer design, cloning of mutated gene into GFP-tagged plasmid, transformation into bacterial cells, DNA isolation, transfection, and protein isolation. Used FACS to separate transfected HUVEC cells from wild-type. Used SDS-PAGE to test for methylation.

Other Work Experience:

Server/Busser/Designated Trainer, The Cheesecake Factory, Westlake OH - April 2011 - Nov. 2017

Red Robin, Fairview Park OH – December 2017 - Present

Working in a high-paced environment where guest satisfaction is the top priority. Gained valuable customer service skills. Top selling server 2015-2017. Responsible for training newly hired servers. New restaurant opening team for Red Robin Fairview Park. Working roughly 30 hours per week while completing my doctorate.
