As a member of the Virology Services Unit, I supported virology studies at both the University of Wisconsin and other institutions. This primarily included performing and optimizing experiments to culture, characterize, and track the replication of viruses. I also ran statistical analyses on experimental data to evaluate quality control standards.

The amoeba, Naegleria fowleri, commonly known as the "brain-eating amoeba" is a rare and deadly pathogen, which requires more effective treatments. Due to its rarity, we lack many tools needed to better understand its unique biology. I worked in Dr. James Morris' lab to develop molecular tools to manipulate N. fowleri's gene expression.

As an undergraduate student, I worked in Dr. James Morris' lab, studying the deadly eukaryotic pathogen Trypanosoma brucei and other parasitic protozoa. My research focused on evaluating the glycolytic protein hexokinases' role in glucose sensing in T. brucei.

Decipher showcases the undergraduate research being conducted across Clemson University's campus. Through this experience, I produced eight articles and edited a further sixteen on topics ranging from business to molecular biology, allowing me to gain a greater breadth of knowledge.

As a member of the Neuroscience Drug Discovery group, my projects focused on characterizing conjugated antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) for improved delivery to specific cell types in the brain. I developed and implemented in vitro and in vivo techniques to study drug delivery in the central nervous system. To accomplish this, I generated a custom cell line expressing an engineered tagged cell receptor. Also, I characterized the pharmacodynamics of novel conjugated ASOs in mice CNS tissues.

Blue Ash, Ohio, United States

I provided customer care, including assistance with resolving customer complaints, and I collaborate with fellow team members to efficiently produce and deliver orders.

Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

I worked in Dr. Agnes Luo's lab, assisting on a project working to determine the relationship between the ablation of microglia and the neurodegeneration of dopaminergic neurons. To quantify cell degeneration, I prepared microscope slides of mice brain sections, which were treated to kill microglia and dopaminergic neurons. I then used cell counting techniques to determine the density of cells in the mice’s brains.

I tutored K-12 students in numerous mathematics subjects ranging from basic arithmetic to trigonometry. I worked with many students from diverse backgrounds and varying proficiencies in math, implementing different teaching methods to instruct the students.
