- Operated a variety of analytical instruments, such as HSGC-FID, GC/MS, and HPLC, with rapid turnaround time in a multi-disciplinary environment.- Streamlined headspace GC-FID analyses and sample preparation, ensuring high precision and accuracy.- Developed a variety of robust GC-FID methods, including wide concentration range quantification and 96-well plate high-throughput screening analyses.- Conducted a variety of in vitro chemical addition studies with cyanobacteria to improve cell productivity through protein inhibition or nutrient supplementation.- Led cell media optimization studies using surfactant addition to promote intercellular product clearance and improve enzyme turnover rates for benchmark productivity rates.- Troubleshoot GC-FID and IC instrument systems, providing preventative maintenance and implementing monitoring measures.

- Maintained the organic chemistry laboratories and stockroom, including laboratory equipment, chemical supplies, and stockroom inventory lists.- Prepared class laboratories and the stockroom for daily classes with collaboration of the stockroom manager.

- Advisor: John K. Snyder- Synthesized precursors of an alkaloid-type natural product scaffold active against Hepatitis C Virus.- Designed key target scaffold derivatives for an antiviral compound library with optimal ADME properties, targeted chirality, and synthetic practicality.

- Advisor: Karen Allen- Performed purification and crystallization analyses on several wild-type proteins, with a focus on interleukin-1β in preparation for lanthanide binding tag addition and application.

- Facilitated weekly orientation sessions for groups of 20 incoming students, supporting their adjustment to campus by advocating various campus resources and assisting with student affairs.- Represented Boston University during academic presentations to incoming students and parents.
