As Business Analyst, Associate at Northern Arizona University's Office of Sponsored Projects, I collaborated with staff, software developers, technical teams, and the institution's Research Metrics Workgroup on a Cayuse SP/PeopleSoft data integration project. I worked with the operations unit in analyzing business processes. I worked with software teams to meet business needs and comply with sponsored research best practices. I maintained data integrity by improving and implementing congruency checks against department data, and provided technical support to Windows and iOS users as system administrator of sponsored project management software.

As Administrative Associate at Northern Arizona University's Office of Sponsored Projects, I provided administrative support for post-award operations. I maintained records for award activations and modifications. I was responsible for creating activity reports for performance monitoring and managerial decision making, testing and maintaining the department's website, processing confidential information, providing technical support to OSP staff, completely setting up workstations, and supervising student workers. My other administrative tasks included processing/distributing office mail, taking regular inventory of office supplies and placing office supply orders as necessary, updating the OSP website, creating and maintaining department PDF forms in Adobe LiveCycle Designer and Acrobat DC, maintaining academic and administrative directory information, and organizing staff meetings.

Performed scientific research on factors contributing to immune system response working closely with program mentor. Gained hands on laboratory experience such as growing cells and introducing cell cultures to infection. Followed SOP's for reduced sample contamination, sterilizing work area, protecting one's self from exposure to infectious agents, and operating lab instruments/machinery. Precisely documented all laboratory work. Analyzed results and presented project contributions to the scientific community.

Implemented platelet-rich plasma (PRP) creation and extraction compliant with mentor’s standard operating procedures gaining hands-on laboratory experience and education in preparation for Topics in Family Medicine, Hematology, and Oncology Conference. Engaged in discussions on conference topics such as: Oncologic Emergencies; Transfusion reactions, identification, management and prevention; Approach to the adult patient with anemia; Approach to the adult patient with a bleeding diathesis; Evaluating the patient with carcinoma of unknown primary; Approach to the patient with quantitative and qualitative platelet disorders; The Evolution of Chemotherapy agents.

Constructed bioinformatics pipeline program in Python programming language guided by program mentor. The project was to develop one program to pass pass raw paired-end read data through multiple processes while reallocating output, and converting and removing processed output to optimize storage and proceed to the next phase in the pipeline process ultimately arriving at a completely sequenced file for use in visualization, analysis, phylogenic tree construction, etc. Project contributions and results for my allotted participation were presented to the scientific community. This is an ongoing project lead by former team members.
