Summary

With success in my interdisciplinary practical laboratory background, I have invested in diverse skills in order to approach projects with perspective and novel solutions. I have a specific interest in green technology, so I spent two years in a clean fuel lab, and to apply these principles in the biotech sector I am adaptable and driven to get meaningful results.

Education

Chemistry/Biochemistry B.S. 2019 - 2023

University of California, Santa Barbara

Enrolled in the College of Creative Studies; GPA 3.4 Experience

Chemical Engineering Lab Intern Nov. 2021 - June ‘23 Working directly with Professor Eric McFarland to engineer novel ways to produce carbon neutral fuel through methane pyrolysis. Minimum 16 hours per week of hands-on engineering: from experimental design to data analysis.

• Design and manufacture of experimental reactors representative of scalable gas-phase processes.

• Weekly presentations with in-depth technical description of project progress.

• Application of a broad range of chemical engineering tools including optical microscopy and SEM/TEM, MS and GC, mass flow controllers and TGA analysis.

• Experimental data featured in pending $1.5 million NIH grant. Biopolymer Lab Intern Sept. 2022 - June ‘23

Working as a lab manager and technician for a minimum of 13 hours per week to oversee the bottom-up building of the incoming Professor Andrea Carlini’s lab.

• Overseeing the installation, maintenance, and repair of basic lab equipment.

• Equipment purchasing and cost-benefit analysis of different related lab technology.

• Design of the lab and SOPs, as well as training incoming undergraduates in safety and lab practice, including presentations. Goals

Just after my B.S., my interests lie in

the opportunity of biotech. Instead

of pursuing my PHD, I plan to learn

through practical experience and

self-education to be effective in an

industrial setting.

Academic Grants

• CAMP: a year-long internship.

• FRAP Award for work in Carlini

lab.

• Fischer Scientific Award for

outstanding progress in the

McFarland lab.

Skills
