As a recent Bioengineering graduate from Oregon State University, I am passionate about advancing research and the efficient production of life-saving medicines in the biopharmaceutical industry. I have gained multiple skills and experiences in bioengineering, project management, and manufacturing process improvement through my education and work.Recently, I finished working as a Lab Maintenance Technician at the College of Engineering - Oregon State University, where I crafted SOPs, safety manuals, and instructions for handling hazardous materials related to liquid-liquid extraction equipment and autoclaves. I also created a comprehensive software and equipment manual for using PuTTy as an HMI alternative for data extraction from an outdated BOD sensor. Additionally, I implemented physical enhancements to existing extraction equipment, enhancing operator safety and improving extraction efficiency.Previously, I completed a four-month Project Engineering Internship at Linde, a leading industrial gas and engineering company. There, I developed a system to estimate gas panel fabrication costs with an accuracy of ±30%, wired and installed cylinder fill scales to correct mass measurement discrepancies and lower production downtime, recommended process line insulation and heating design to decrease product waste, and managed contractor interaction to expand the land development outside the plant.Furthermore, I participated in a 1.5-year undergraduate research project at Oregon State University, where I won the first-place team award in the 2020 College of Engineering Virtual Showcase for “Innovations in Material Science for a Transformative Menstrual Health and Hygiene Product”. I utilized a fermentation-derived super absorbent polymer to produce a compostable menstruation pad, designed experiments to measure the effectiveness of CBD diffusion from hydrogels, and built a process for the successful production of premium hemp extract using ethanol extraction and activated carbon filters.With my communication and problem-solving skills, as well as my domain expertise in fermentation and extraction, I am eager to contribute to the innovation and excellence of the biopharmaceutical industry. I am looking for opportunities to apply my knowledge and skills to challenging and meaningful projects that can make a positive impact on people's health and well-being.
