Work Experience:

Eurofins Spectrum Analytical, Agawam, MA- SVOC Instrumentation Analyst July 2016 – Present

Analyzed samples and their associated quality control samples by gas chromatography; primarily PCB’s but also Pesticides and Herbicides.

Reviewed and reported corresponding data.

Maintained, optimized and calibrated equipment.

Was responsible for and complied with quality assurance/quality control requirements that pertained to their organizational/technical function.

Assisted in organization of related departmental work and in sample preparation. Research Project:

Chemical Process Design September 2015 – January 2016

Researched industrial sulfuric acid catalyzed alkylation of butane with a team of four peers.

Designed an alkylation process that included reactors, distillation columns, acid settlers and recycle streams that would produce 50,000 barrels of product per day.

Analyzed the final process in Aspen to determine the feasibility of implementation and economics of the proposed alkylation process.

Scheduled regular meetings to ensure that deadlines were met for project memos, a PowerPoint presentation and a written report.

Engineering Experience:

Senior Lab, UMass Amherst January 2016 – February 2016

Led a team of four to investigate methanation of carbon dioxide over a nickel alumina catalyst in a continuously stirred tank reactor.

Calculated conversion of carbon dioxide and determined the kinetics of the methanation reaction.

Delivered two PowerPoint presentations to professors and peers, composed a thorough written report of methods, data and conclusions.

Awards and Scholarships:
