While completing my undergraduate degree at the University of Alberta, I discovered a love for genetics. For this reason, I pursued an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences with a strong focus in molecular genetics. Concurrently, I was able to find meaningful work in lipid genetics. During this research experience I was fortunate to be published, as well as acquire strong research skills. I developed a high level of proficiency in many laboratory techniques including, but not limited to, qPCR, cDNA-RNA conversion, lipid extraction, and gas chromatography. Currently I am a candidate for the Masters of Biomedical Technology program at the University of Calgary. Throughout this program I have expanded on my scientific knowledge, but more importantly I have gained the necessary business skills to apply this my scientific knowledge to the booming biotechnology field. Lastly, from a wealth of volunteering experience I have displayed a high aptitude for interpersonal skills. This is the aspect of my character I am most proud of, as strong communication abilities are critical to the success of any team, whether corporate or academic.
