Independently coached local small businesses in the Agriculture space on topics such as business strategy, performance goals, growth strategies, and marketing approaches. Subject matter expertise in biology was leveraged on topics such as microbial growth, mycology, and ecological symbiosis.

Explored additional topics in the field of molecular biology such as Biotechnology, Virology, Immunology, Bioterrorism, Ethics, Cancer Biology, Nanomedicine, and Synthetic Biology. Educated and trained on topics including evaluation of literature, molecular techniques, and legal/ethical implications of emerging technologies. Successfully presented the emergence of Synthetic Biology in industry and its ethical implications to committee. Further explored fundamental business concepts and trained on specific skills such as marketing, product development, new venture formation, intellectual property, and market analytics. Final project represented a full business plan for a biotechnology company focused on oligonucleotide and long strand synthesis.

Performed directed work in the Nanjundan Lab at USF where he assisted the PI and her two graduate students with their work in molecular oncology, concentrating on Ovarian and Kidney cancers. - Managed non research projects and Coordinated a team of 6 volunteers- Assisted and observed research methods and processes

Given the startup nature of Protean, I had to wear a variety of hats during my time there. In addition to the major projects; I developed operational workflows to enhance efficiency and patient experience, evaluated the capabilities and limitations of a variety of genetic technologies and interpretation platforms, as well as collaborated with the interns from the local university.During the development of RiskMAPS, I coordinated the market assessment with interns, assembled operational workflows, collaborated with CIO and other stakeholders on secure data management, facilitated discussions surrounding patient and oncologist needs, and worked with consultants to navigate insurance/provider needs and limitations.Responsibilities included:- Development and management of Protean's RiskMAPS Hereditary Cancer Risk panel. - Supervision and coordination of clinical trial selection testing.- Management and logistics for other contract research projects from industry leaders.- Facilitating client and provider facing interactions to enable story communication- Assessed and Assigned classifications for genetic variants in accordance with ACMG
