Through WashU Engineering Undegraduate Student Services, I tutored part-time in a variety of subjects including computer science, calculus, organic chemistry, and thermodynamics. This experience has given me notable skills such as:• Self-responsibility• Teaching• Time ManagementOver two academic years, I tutored eight unique students.

Through an independent study, I worked closely with Professor Kumfer as we investigated biogas purification via flame synthesized sorbents. Some notable accomplishments during this study were: • Literature review detailing current adsorbents and manufacturers.• Commercial-scale model to predict adsorption rates in a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system.• Laboratory-scale model for direct testing. • Presentation to a board of professors and colleagues on the topic.

During the summer of 2023, I interned within the diabetes care division of Abbott. While here, I interacted closely with sensor R&D and Complaints Investigation for the Libre product line. Sensor R&D:• Proposed a reaction scheme (by use of Fourier transform infrared spectrometry) that enables numerical approximation of polymer cross-linking percentage. - Developed a reference library of FTIR spectra for company polymers and solvents. - Conducted a 1-month study that varied epoxy percentage in polymer solution. - Determined key FTIR peaks that had a correlation between absorption and cross-linking percentage. Complaints Investigation:• Process improvements for the global Libre investigation procedure, saving $400,000 annually. - Data mined over 2 million unique complaint investigations. - For the top 10 complaints (accounting for over 50% of all investigations), determined descriptors/variables that increase the likelihood for a complaint to be confirmed. - Based on these descriptors/variables, restructured (or removed portions) of the complaints investigation procedure for maximum efficiency.

For two years I had the honor of interning at AIChE. Coinciding with my sophomore year of college, I was the Mid-America Regional Liaison. Then, coinciding with my junior year of college, I was the Mid-America and Pacific Northwest Regional Chair. Some of my duties and responsibilities included:• Work with ESC Regional Liaisons to grow and improve the Mid-America and Pacific Northwest AIChE student chapters.• Reactivate and create new student chapters for underrepresented universities within the Mid-America and Pacific Northwest regions.• Hold monthly calls to monitor student chapters and facilitate inter-chapter relations.• Serve as a buffer between the national chapter and the student chapters of AIChE.

Fort Smith, Arkansas, United States

During the summer of 2022, I worked with Peterson Chemicals Technology, a research and development company for Leggett & Platt. Some of my notable achievements and experiences include:• Design, creation, and implementation of a 30-gallon pilot manufacturing process for the production of a novel foam additive. • Creation of a program (using ImageJ, public stacks, and MS Excel) that produces results comparable to a particle size analyzer (PSA).• Development of a novel foam additive, yielding experience in thermal testing such as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and volatility. • 3D predictive modeling for ideal mixing speed and volumetric flowrate of an in-line two pump system. Further experience gained in pump calibration, pump efficiency, and emulsion stability.• Experience in wet lab safety, etiquette, and experimental procedure.

Kankakee, Illinois, United States

During the summer of 2021, I worked closely with a fellow intern at the Kankakee County Fairgrounds. Some notable takeaways include:• Met with clients to discuss vendor, camping, and entertainment opportunities.• Transferred 7 years of office records from paper to digital using MS Excel and Martech.• Developed Excel spreadsheets to streamline certain office inquiries such as inventory, growth trends, and demographic research.
