EDUCATION

Central Connecticut State University

1615 Stanley Street, New Britain, Connecticut

Major: Biomolecular Sciences

B.S. Degree Awarded: May, 2018

Waterbury Arts Magnet School

16 South Elm Street, Waterbury, Connecticut

High School Diploma Awarded: June, 2009

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Central Connecticut State University: October, 2016-May, 2018

Research Assistant:

My undergraduate research focused on the molecular characterization of mutant mice with altered hair morphology. I performed DNA isolation and analysis in Dr. King’s Laboratory, and learned cell culture techniques in Dr. Mulrooney’s Laboratory. This experience fulfilled an academic requirement, provided the basis of 3 formal presentations and an undergraduate thesis, and served as my Work/Study employment (March 2017-December 2017).

Technical Skills:

Proficient in DNA isolation, polymerase chain reaction, gel electrophoresis

Tissue culture, immunohistochemistry

Research Grants Won:

2016 AAUP Faculty/Student Research Grant: “Fine-mapping the curly whiskers (cw) mutation in mice” ($500 awarded to support research in Dr. King’s laboratory)

2017 AAUP Faculty/Student Research Grant: “The cellular basis of the mouse curly whiskers (cw) mutation” ($750 awarded to support research in Dr. Mulrooney’s laboratory)
