• Conducted quality assurance on pharmaceuticals and upheld good record-keeping• Worked with formulation development to ensure quality control through HPLC analysis• Adhered to good manufacturing practices (GMP), CMC, and regulatory filings for drug substance manufacturing

*Taught students the fundamentals of grammar and essay structure.*Reviewed vocabulary, pronunciation, and extrapolating the main ideas from reading and listening assignments.*Delineated to students how to use rhetorical devices and the fundamentals of rhetoric analysis.

*Taught freshman and sophomore athletes general chemistry and organic chemistry.*Developed homework assignments to strengthen their knowledge of the concepts.

*Determined substituents on the pentacene core plays a larger role in shifting the HOMO-LUMO level than farther substituents. *Attempted to synthesize a bithiophene derivative for use as a polymer linker.

*Responsible for creating standard solutions for calibration curves 
*Used microelectrode arrays in order to quantify neurotransmitter concentrations 
*Fabricated carbon fiber electrodes in order to quantify dopamine levels

I advised students on their writing style and techniques to improve their writing, specifically on how they can employ rhetorical devices in improving their writing. In addition, I helped students with their creative process.In addition, I led weekly meetings for ICH (the International Conversation Hour). With this group, I helped acclimate international students with American culture and streamlined techniques to teach English to international students.
