With a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and a Master of Science in Food Agricultural Biological Engineering at The Ohio State University, my journey has been marked by a steadfast commitment to sustainability in materials science and chemistry. As a Graduate Research Assistant, my focus was on polymer science, specifically on pioneering the use of waste-derived products as rubber fillers. My competencies span research skills, product safety, oral communication, and ensuring a comprehensive approach to innovation.At The Ohio State University, my work contributed to developing natural rubber alternatives and enhancing the sustainability of materials used in various industries. Partnering with a team of dedicated researchers, we were committed to advancing product safety and the strategic use of renewable resources. The values inherent in this research, responsibility, perseverance, and collaboration, are aligned with the goals of an organization that prioritizes environmental consciousness and proactive problem-solving. Together, we were poised to make significant contributions to the field of sustainable materials and polymer science.
