Karla Ayala Email and Phone Number

I am a first-generation college graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular, Cell, & Developmental Biology currently employed as a full-time TA for a developmental biology lab course offered at UCLA. I have experience with molecular cloning in which I cloned the TCTEX1D1 gene and identified it using bioinformatics. My data was presented during UCLA's Undergraduate Research Week 2023 and written in a research paper reviewed by my professor. While at UCLA I also had the opportunity to work within the Payments, Solutions, & Compliance office where I learned to provide exceptional customer service, manage significant amounts of cash & cash equivalents, and assist full-time employees with projects.I also have clinical experience in which I assisted providers with basic patient care in the mammography, postpartum, and pediatric departments at Kaiser Permanente in Riverside.
