As a graduate research assistant at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD), I apply my scientific knowledge and critical thinking skills to conduct experiments and analyze results in the field of medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry. I was also involved in teaching undergraduate courses and mentoring students in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. I have a bachelor's degree in biology and biochemistry from UMD, and I am currently working toward my master's degree in chemistry. I have more than four years of experience as a server at The Boat Club Restaurant & Bar, where I provide excellent customer service and hospitality. My core competencies include laboratory skills, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. I am passionate about advancing scientific knowledge and improving human health through research and education.
