I am currently an Analyst III at Medicago. Currently, I work as part of a small team to perform quality control testing on developmental, clinical, and commercial vaccine batches. Throughout the past two years, I have contributed towards the development of a Covid-19 vaccine and supported quality control testing. The previous five years was spent working in a small team on multiple preformulation and formulation studies, method development, method qualification, and method validation. I have an M.S. in Neurobiology and a B.S. in Cellular and Molecular Biology. I have over 5 years of research experience in the academic setting and over 8 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical setting. During my academic work, I independently worked on multiple projects in the fields of genetics, evolutionary biology, neurobiology, and immunology. Currently, I have in-depth experience with a wide range of experimental techniques and strong leadership and communications skills obtained through collaborating with a variety of colleagues in order to develop and optimize various technical methods under strict deadlines.
