Work Experience

Tandem Diabetes Care

San Diego, California

Software Tester Intern- Research and Development

November 2013-January 2014

. Performed quality testing with Tandem Diabetes Care insulin pumps

and ensure performance and efficiency of the products meet FDA

and company required standards

. Reported discovered malfunctions and errors and attended daily

scrum meetings to support software developers to identify

solutions

UCSD Psychiatry

La Jolla, California

Student Assistant

November 2012-August 2013

. Created database for the data and tracking of clinical research

patients following the HIPAA regulations that would be used in

generating key data for manuscript writing

. Used SPSS, Microsoft Excel, and psychiatric scoring measure

programs to generate statistical report and trained new employees

on these processes

. Wrote simple protocols on the exportation of data from several

psychiatric scoring measure programs and updated versions of all

software on computers used by students and professors

Related Experience/Coursework

BEST Workshop at Miramar College

Miramar, California

Attendee

June 2013

. Conducted PCR experiment to amplify the locus in the tPA gene on

chromosome 8 to determine presence of an Alu element using

thermal cycler and gel electrophoresis with positive controls

. Used ELISA's to determine the antibody titer between different

dilutions of rabbit and bovine serum.

Cardiac Mechanics Research Group at UCSD

La Jolla, California

Undergraduate Researcher (Volunteer)

June 2011- March 2012

Collaborated with post-doctoral fellow to investigate the remodeling

of mouse cardiac myocyte sarcomere length after biaxial strain on a

PDMS surface. At the end presented a report based on recorded notes and

data kept in lab journal.

. Conducted in-depth experiments that directly showed when

sarcomeres were subject to eccentric hypertrophy-causing

conditions, cells were elongated and sarcomeres were added in

series to each other shown by immunofluorescence staining

. Thawed, plated, cultured, and isolated mouse cells using aseptic

technique and maintained laboratory stocking of media and pipettes

. Designed experiment that would create a less stiff

gelatin/agarose/PDMS hybrid membrane in which cells would be

subjected to the same conditions of eccentric hypertrophy-causing

conditions to compare results

Organic Chemistry Laboratory at UCSD

La Jolla, California

Student

Sept 2012- Dec 2012

. Used fractional and simple distillation to separate a two

component hydrocarbon into cylcohexane and n-octane and

confirmation by gas chromatography

. Performed experiments using Thin Layer Chromatography and Column

chromatography to identify unknown mixtures into their individual

components and retardation factors
