OBJECTIVE:

I want to further my knowledge, skills, and experience by applying for a position in the sciences field. The combination of my background in chemistry, biochemistry, biogeochemistry, and medicinal chemistry will help me make a successful career. I am organized, focused and determined. As a former collegiate Division 1 scholarship athlete, I spent years balancing priorities and efficiently completing tasks. I hope to apply these talents to a career in the scientific field.

RESEARCH

2012-2014 Master’s Thesis

Department of Medicinal Chemistry, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Pharmacy

Research focused on drug development for neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Cutting-edge synthetic medicinal chemistry and molecular biology techniques were used to characterize and guide our molecular design and characterization. The involvement of signaling pathways in the pathology of neurodegenerative disorders and cancer were also studied. Our group studied the compounds that we made in mice with the help the medical school (MCV). I have not worked with animals by myself but I have observed the process with my post-doc during the animal studies portion of our research. I am very open to being trained to do this and learn very quickly.

2007-2009 Masters Independent Study

Department of Soil Biogeochemistry, North Carolina State University

Research focused on quantification of the effects of zinc and organic compost on the uptake of cadmium. Plants were grown under different soil conditions and various assays were performed to measure the concentration of the elements of interest.

2007-2009 Master’s Thesis

Department of Environmental Science, University of Colorado Denver Graduate School

Research focused on water security, in terms of supply and sustainability, because water demand exceeds supply in many parts of the world and in China (due to heavy requirements for manufacturing plants there). An unexpected abrupt decline in water supplies is posing a serious, growing threat to world food, energy, and water security.
