I currently work as a Chemist at Arkema in the Cary, NC location. Graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Drexel University in 2023. I have a strong background in industry-standard spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques, polymer science specific to latex and PVC, monoclonal antibodies, and divested brand data management.At my current role in Arkema, I provide crucial assistance to R&D and Q&M project teams, ensuring their analytical needs are met effectively. My responsibilities include recommending and implementing method improvements and developing innovative analytical procedures tailored to evolving business requirements within waterborne latexes, working closely with R&D scientists and analytical specialists. Additionally, I offer microbial support for plant operations and customer product lines, contributing to the development and maintenance of plant sanitation plans. I also oversee scheduled maintenance of laboratory equipment, serving as a key liaison with specialist support when more complex issues arise, ensuring that all equipment operates efficiently and effectively.At my role for Siemens Healthineers in Newark, DE, I supported the downstream creation of monoclonal antibodies via bioreactors, working with a multidisciplinary technical and mechanical support team to grow cell lines for upstream processing. The antibodies produced for various cell lines are applied in multiple applications such as Siemens CHK flex, drugs of abuse testing, cancer, fertility testing, and different vital organ testing, to name a few.In my previous employment at Norac Additives in Ambler, PA, I gained valuable experience formulating and evaluating PVC additives creating and presenting a poster at a professional conference, Vinyl Tech, in 2022. Learning more about Rheology and extruder optimization for different formulations of PVC while also dealing with logistical problems from the manufacturing side for formulation changes. I also worked at Quaker Houghton in 2021 to improve commercial data for divested brands Conshohocken, PA. Collecting data from multiple sales teams located all across North America to consolidate for each team and each clientele. This required planning virtual and in person meetings to gather sensitive data to correct our ERP systems.
