PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Product Chemist I, Lannett Co., Seymour, Indiana May 2024-present

●Utilize knowledge on cGMP in pharmaceutical processes in a Quality Control (QC) laboratory setting

●Implement procedures and methods for HPLC runs in a QC laboratory setting

●Analyze DEA samples for purity and conformity with FDA regulations

●Trained on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in a pharmaceutical industry

Research Assistant—Dr. Rosokha Lab, Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana Aug 2022 - May 2024

●Supervised 80 undergraduate students as a teaching assistant (TA) in the Chemistry lab for CHEM 101 and 111

●Successfully synthesized N,N,N',N'-Tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) to study anion-π interaction through UV-vis studies and computational analyses with GaussView

●Synthesized Kosower’s salt and performed UV-vis measurements, crystal engineering, and computational analysis to explain the presence of novel anion-π interactions

●Conducted crystal engineering of Kosower’s salt with anions like TPAClO4, Cl-, Br-, I-, BF4-, PF6-, and NCS- to measure interactions between Kosower’s salt and anions; Suggested presence of novel anion-π interaction

●Trained in HPLC best-practices for sample preparation, operation, and data analysis

Analytical Chemist I, Sterling Pharma Solutions, Germantown, Wisconsin Jul 2021 - Aug 2022

●Learned cGMP documentation practices and performed essential laboratory functions, including weighing/balancing, solution preparation, pipetting, and pH meter use

●Performed routine testing for appearance, FT-IR, Karl-Fischer (KF), and TGA/DSC

●Conducted inspection and testing to support the release of all incoming raw materials to ensure quality; Performed laboratory analysis of samples following validated test methods and report results

●Cleaned lab glassware, handled potent and controlled substances, and prepared samples for third-party testing

●Ensured compliance, safety, and proper documentation

Research Intern—Synthesis of Macamides Derivatives, Wabash College May 2019 - Jul 2019

●Examined data on Macamides to understand synthesis process; Successfully synthesized 5 alkamides

●Collaborated on the design of new synthetic processes of Macamides to increase yield

●Operated both NMR and IR spectroscopy regularly to study synthetic results
