I am responsible for technical help desk support for GMI/NG's internal software, including answering all immediate “how-to” questions from Production, QA and other Galileo users, escalating issues and feature requests to the development team as necessary, and assisting with larger data entry projects and/or implementation initiatives. Additional responsibilities involve reviewing existing business processes and how they are performed in our software systems, creating documentation and demonstration videos for end user training, and communicating any “bugs” or missing features. I perform QA testing on work in development before they get pushed to the live server. In 2022, I ran a monthly series of workshops on modules of our internal software, with participants from multiple sites across both Grain Millers and Northern Gold. These were recorded and linked on our internal help wiki for future users.

I performed tests on bars as they moved through the production line, including weight, temperature, and dimension checks to see if they match customer specifications. I worked with operators to troubleshoot issues and to make sure Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) were followed. I did swab tests as needed to verify cleanliness of parts. I did metal detector HACCP checks at the beginning, end, and throughout a production run. I also assisted in gathering and uploading required documents for vendor ingredients.

Tangent, Oregon

I performed experiments and documented results, and I verified internal documentation on work performed. I prepared and sent or delivered samples to outside laboratories for testing. I kept track of on-hand inventory. I assisted in production and receiving as needed. In my last month, I reviewed timesheets for temp staff.

Eugene, Oregon Area

I worked on the QA line, testing production samples for moisture content, granulation, enzyme activity, and other relevant tests to meet specifications. I performed end-of-shift audits to ensure Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) are followed. I mailed Certificate of Analyses to customers. I investigated and solved issues as they arose through additional sampling, root cause analysis, and tracking traceability. Neogen certified on various mycotoxin tests (vomitoxin, aflatoxin, and ochratoxin quantitative & qualitative)

Corvallis, Oregon Area

Through McLellan Temporaries, Janitorial crew leader for Cornerstone Associates, Inc. I supervised and worked alongside associates, people with mental and/or physical disabilities performing janitorial duties for businesses in the Corvallis/Albany area. I drove a crew to various contracted businesses, vacuumed, swept, and emptied trash, and kept track of timesheet hours for the crew.

Under a research assistantship, assisting on other projects in the lab such as the mtDNA of plant parasitic nematodes and crossing mutation accumulation lineages of C. elegans. Personal research project: using phylogenies to examine the relationship between plant parasitic nematode Xiphinema americanum and its endosymbiont Xiphenomatobacter.

Taught various courses at Oregon State in the Biology department: BI 211 - Principles of Biology- (1 quarter) : Leading one section and assisting another section in the Fall, which covers origins of life, organismal biology, and biodiversity. BI 212 (2 quarters)- Winter, leading and assisting for BI 212, which teaches the scientific method, some cellular processes, and plant & animal anatomies.BI 241 (1 quarter) - Introduction to Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab- also wrote & proctored the midterm & finale practical exams for my section. Material covers skeletal & muscular anatomy + some cell biology for understanding muscle contractionBI 345 (2 quarters)- Introduction to Evolution- an ecampus class, introduces students to basic evolutionary concepts. I responded on a discussion board and grade online lab assignments. BI 204, 205, and 206- Introductory Biology I, II, and III- ecampus classes, equivalent to an on campus introductory biology course. I interacted with students on a discussion board, graded lab assignments and exam responses, and wrote examples for calibrated peer review.

Adaptable when learning new areas, but most familiar with Apparel, Infants, HBA/Cosmetics/Pharmacy, and Grocery.

Wrote articles about undergraduate student research at Clemson University (known as Creative Inquiry) for the Decipher magazine showcasing these projects to an audience outside the university.

Performed pretreatment and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) on corn stover samples using wet chemistry for the Biofuels project; analyzed data to create a poster presentation.

Master Of Science (Ms), Zoology

During the course of my masters I initially worked on a bioinformatic pipeline to analyze genome skimming data of the anemone Anthopleura.
