Guided 30 senior design teams from concept to prototype completion.Managed team travel requests and expense reports.

Tutored an average of 12 students weekly with key concept retention.Graded homework, tests and assisted the professor with class logistics.

Led feasibility project where I assessed the physical properties of new drug delivery reservoir through routine benchtop testing. Collaborated with management and engineers to develop timelines for the design and development process of the medical device.

Worked in a team to design an anchoring device to replace inefficient suturing procedures. Reduced overall implant time by 25% of the defibrillatorReceived 1st place in the Texas A&M Engineering Showcase Biomedical Engineering Category

Fabricated a gradient material with a Laser Engineered Net Shaped (LENS) additive manufacturing system Learned valuable technical skills involving phase analysis of a material and microstructure analysis

Researched protein micro-gel extracellular matrices for maintained cell phenotype.Gained skills in bacterial cell culture, mammalian cell culture, soft lithography, capillary microfluidics, formation of hydrogels, cell lysis, inverse transition cycling, protein synthesis, and protein purification and lyophilization.Presented research to peers as well as to UNM faculty and staff at the Sandia National Laboratories
