Performed inspections for hazardous building materials and created technical reports. Taught health and safety courses for scheduled classes and by contract. Managed remediation projects both directly onsite and from an office setting.

- Created chemical solutions needed for University Chemistry Labs- Maintained an organized and clean workspace

This project focused on developing a method and system for using Aquaponics to clean waste water from a fish research facility. The main interest was that the system produce clean water that measured up to the standards required by a research facility.- Researched Aquaponics techniques and methods to determine the best application- Developed an electricity free hydroponic system using general materials from a hardware store- Monitored and analyzed nutrient uptake rates for select species of plants

- Assisted students with comprehending complex material- Required to be proficient in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Quantitative Analysis- Developed strong communication skills

- Set up, cleaned, and prepared laboratory and equipment for weekly labs- Cleaned and whitened animal skulls for display

- Performed chemical extraction on potentially medicinal plants- Ran Bio-assays on extracted compounds- Analyzed samples using Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectroscopy (GCMS), Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (LCMS), and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) to determine chemical composition of extracts

- Collected samples from stock aggregate piles using an established method- Tested samples to ensure proper consistency and quality
