Career Objective:

To obtain a position in the rubber industry that will challenge and make use of my

chemistry and engineering backgrounds via my unique skill set and experiences.

Work Experience:

Rubber Rolls, Inc. (5/14/12 – Present): Technical Director

Compounding Chemist: Develop new compounds, quality check all rubber

manufactured at the facility, and provide technical support to customers with line

and roll issues. Compounds processed include EPDM, Nitrile, Natural, SBR,

Neoprene, Hypalon, Silicones, and Castable Polyurethanes. Processes include

Extrusion, Open Roll Mixing, Calendering, Compression Molding, and

Horizontal/Vertical cast Polyurethanes.

Process Engineer: Provide technical and troubleshooting assistance to production

personnel when processing problems arose; determine the nature of the problem

and how to avoid it in the future.Worked to create molds used in processing

urethane and rubber parts

Head of Maintenance: Lead the maintenance team in both Preventative and Reactive

measures in order to keep production running smoothly.

Other Duties: Technical Support, Quality Control/Assurance, Contract Negotiator,

and Safety Officer.

Saint Francis University (8/25/8 – 5/5/12): Undergraduate Researcher

Attempted to create an assay procedure for the detection of Gamma Amino Butyric

Acid (GABA) in a crude lysate sample by Gas Chromatography/Mass

Spectrometry through modification of the amino acids through silylation.

Performed maintenance on and utilized multiple instruments including: Atomic

Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), UV-Vis Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Gas

Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry(GC/MS, GC/FID), and High-Performance

Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).

Saint Francis University (8/25/10 – 5/5/12): R.O.C.K Director/Leader

Rural Outreach Chemistry for Kids (R.O.C.K) is a chemistry/engineering based

outreach program led by college students. It works with students grades k-12 to

provide hands-on science experiments aimed at their specific level.

Developed, organized, scheduled, directed these events and supervised a small group

of college students in teaching these lessons.

Saint Francis University (8/25/10 – 5/5/12): Physics Review Session Leader (PLTL)

Peer Led Team Learning (PLTL) allows college students to teach their peers in a

discipline that they excel in.

Guided a class of basic physics students in how to analyze, understand, and complete

homework problems so that they could perform better in the class.
