• Optimized isothermal amplification assays for non-CRISPR lateral flow readouts and CRISPR-Lamp Cas fluorescence readouts by running experiments such as: guard banding, limit of detection, time stability studies, and.
• Optimize excipient selection to support lyophilization efforts of leading STI assays.
• Evaluate molecular reagents from third party vendors for assay optimization including DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases.
• Uphold and streamline the process of component inventory management used by the assay development team. Including creating SOPs and Batch Records for manufacturing and QC new reagents.
• Design studies, analyze data and present findings to the team, to understand failure modes.
• Assisted engineering team to optimize prototype that gave fluorescence readout for STI targets.

Scarborough, Maine, United States

• Analyze the performance of HIV, TB, and COVID-19 lateral flow assays leveraging JMP to improve product performance.
• Wrote JMP script to gather and analyze data for the TB assay, allowing the team to understand the root cause of failures.
• Cross-collaborate with multiple departments daily, including production and quality control, to meet monthly goals and deliverables.
• Advancing technical writing skills through editing and creating SOPs, risk assessments, quality incidents, design changes, and experimental reports.
• Design studies, analyze data and present findings to the team, to understand failure modes.

Orono, Maine, United States

• Developed a variety of micromixers in SolidWorks.
• The micromixers were then printed through the use of a 3-D printer and were molded in PDMS and tested to see their efficiency through the use of syringe pumps set to a certain flow rate to ensure laminar flow.
• Developed a COMSOL model to portray how the micromixers should theoretically mix to compare to the experimental trials ran.
• Co-author of a peer-reviewed paper for the research and development described above. o Amber Boutiette, Christopher Toothaker, Bailey Corless, Choiaub Boukaftane, Caitlin Howell, “3D Printing Direct to Industrial.
• Co-author on three conference poster presentations where I aided in research and development of microfluidic devices. o MRS conference, fall of 2018o NEBEC, spring of 2019 o BMES nationals, fall of 2019
• Co-presented at the University of Maine Symposium in the Spring of 2019.

Bangor, Maine, United States

• Repaired, assembled and ran preventative maintenance on medical equipment including, Alaris Infusion Pumps, flow meters, and VACULTA.
• Researched and contacted vendors for new patient lifts and beds for the hospital.
• Filed FDA reports on flow meters.
