Laval, Québec

• Built and maintained relationships with clients: retailer head offices and manufacturers.• Handled over 4 million dollars in yearly sales.• Oversaw packaging creation and updating for 150+ private label consumer products including health and beauty aids, meal replacements, feminine and adult hygiene products, and child care products.• Carried out market research to strategize negotiation for new products.• Streamlined operations by creating reporting tools and KPI analyses ranging from end-of-month ratings to multi-year performance metrics.• Partnered with clients to build business dashboards to carry out trend analysis on retail metrics including monitoring sales revenue, store performance, and salesperson productivity.• Worked closely with manufacturers to coordinate and track shipments and with retailers to ensure order accuracy based on supplier minimum ships, min-max pallets ratios, and min-max weight considerations.• Provided customer service to retailers including Jean Coutu, Uniprix, Metro, Sobeys, Familiprix, Proxim, Drug Trading, Pharmachoice, and distributors McKesson and McMahon.• Maintained online product management sites including GS1, SAP, and Sobeys' Focus.

Montreal, Quebec

• Developed a new form of spectroscopy based on ultrasound frequency analysis.• Created several instrument designs, including sample cell creation using a CNC mill, data acquisition, and computer interfacing.• Synthesized novel hydrogel sensors based on cellulose, acrylamide, and dendrimeric polymers. These were targeted towards small molecules (theophylline, caffeine, acetaminophen) and to proteins (TNF-alpha) using a variety of molecular imprinting and antibody recognition mechanisms.• Demonstrated the utility of analyzing nonlinear ultrasound frequencies for the quantification of mixtures containing liquids and dissolved solids.• Commercial beverage analysis (water, ethanol, methanol traces, sucrose, glucose, fructose)• Water contamination analysis (nitrates, phosphates, sulfates, soil, mineral oils)• Chemometric data analysis of large data sets including multivariate methods such as MLR, PCA, MCR, wavelet decomposition.Undergraduate Student Supervision:• Joshua Potel, Honours project student (2010-2011)• James Duffy, Honours project student, 3rd place finish (2010)• Andrew Dafoe, Honours project student, Anachemia prize for best honours thesis research (2009-2010)• Steven Cassin, Summer research student (2008)• Michael Tycon, Honours project student, Merck Summer Science Research Award, Sigma Chi Science Award (2007)• Subir Sudtrahar, NSERC summer student (2006)

Laboratory Of Professor Cameron D. Skinner

• Developed novel capillary electrophoresis photopolymer monoliths using boronic acid moieties for the chromatographic separation of hydroxylated compounds.• Monoliths were characterized using a variety of methods including NMR (1H, 13C), Raman spectroscopy, and TEM.• Modified proteins using both enzymatic and non-enzymatic methods of glycosylation and deglycosylation, which were characterized by mass spectrometry (ESI, MALDI).• Separated proteins using capillary electrochromatography in conjunction with the boronic acid monolith.
