In my role at SARDI, I provide laboratory technical support for a project that uses the molecular tool CRISPR-Cas9 to generate a Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni) strain in the laboratory for sterile insect technique (SIT) applications. The knowledge from my biochemistry/biotechnology background is relevant to me in understanding the theory behind the experiments conducted, and thus I am able to problem solve technical issues. Main Responsibilities:• Perfomed genotyping assays of B.tryoni lines through conducting and troubleshooting of molecular methods including DNA extractions, DNA quantification and purification, polymerase chain reactions (PCRs), gel electrophoresis and restriction enzyme digests• Reared and maintained laboratory fruit fly cultures for molecular experiments• Prepared and maintained research data in the form of records, protocols and results, in written and graphic form (sketches, diagrams)• Prepared laboratory samples for molecular experiments by collecting and freezing specimens• Maintained laboratory supplies by monitoring usage and making up chemical solutions• Management of biological waste by autoclaving and ensuring proper disposal• Management of project budget and procurement of laboratory equipment and supplies (maternity leave cover)Achievements:• SARDI Waite Seminar Series 2017: Demonstrated good communication skills by giving a presentation on creation of a B.tryoni strain for SIT purposes using CRISPR-Cas mutagenesis, and providing details of the screening process for this strain • SARDI Molecular Science Workshop 2018: Enhanced my public speaking skills by providing an overview on CRISPR-Cas mutagenesis applications for SIT purposes

I was involved in the research project: "Flying doctors - Bees deliver biological control agents to flowers", led by Dr. Katja Hogendoorn. The aim of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of using bees to deliver a biological control agent (BCA) as a sustainable method of managing grey mould in strawberries and cherries. Prior to this job I knew little about plant diseases. However, I adapted well to learn new knowledge and produced successful results in experiments. I am highly confident that my ability to adapt enables me to rapidly learn new skills in any role.Main Responsibilities:• Operated laboratory equipment and used sterile and molecular techniques to determine delivery of a fungal BCA for managing grey mould in strawberries and cherries• Analysis of photographs of soil of organic and conventional farms • Identification of grey mould (Botrytis) and other fungi from collected fruit samples

I provided regulatory support and handled multiple projects, in the Pet Care and Fabric-Home Care business units. The key skill I learnt from this experience is time management. Since I was responsible for different projects concurrently in a fast-paced, high pressure environment, I created an Excel spreadsheet to plan and prioritise tasks for each project. As a result, I completed the tasks for each project within the deadline and received excellent feedback from my direct supervisors. Main Responsibilities:Pet Care: Supported product registrations for Asian region• Due to strict regulatory requirements for product claims in Thailand, I used my initiative to source relevant information to support our product claims, and summarised the supporting evidence for submission to the regulatory authorities. As a result, all of the products were given regulatory approval to be launched on the Thai market within six months of dossier submission, ahead of our original product launch lead time• Co-ordination of registration dossier document requests across various functionsFabric-Home Care: Co-ordinated MSDS (material safety data sheet) requests, performed chemical inventory checks, maintained databases of regulatory requirements• Understand MSDS requirements in order to co-ordinate MSDS request to MSDS creation team• Global chemical inventory checks for product registration purposes• Perfume assessment support
