• Working Thesis Title: The specificity of ETV6 towards DNA is modulated through internal dynamics.
• My research focused on determining the biophysical properties of the transcription factor ETV6. The goal of the research was to explore the relationship between the DNA specificity of the protein and its innate dynamic.
• I also assisted a group at the Prostate Cancer Research Center in screening potential drug candidates against their targets and provided a detailed analysis.
• I additionally worked on many smaller projects with one regarding the design and screening of cyclic peptides as potential drug candidates.
• During GRAD school I mentored a student and assisted with the projects of both co-op and other graduate students.

• As a teaching assistant for both lab and lecture courses (BIOC 421 and BIOC 202), I was expected to effectively communicate methods and information to students through multiple means.
• I provided demos, assistance, and guidance to students in a laboratory setting while also challenging them to answer increasingly complex questions regarding biochemistry.
• I developed teaching modules, tutorials, and other learning aides for students at a range of knowledge levels.
• I constructed robust marking rubrics and worked with other TAs to establish consistent grading for midterm and final exams, as well as reports and projects.

I took a hands-on approach to investigating the targeting the protein photolyase. I engineered a protein construct with altered target affinity and measured the efficiency change of the protein and its effect on cell viability.

• During a co-op term I worked with a small business who is interested in producing a commercially viable fusion reactor. My primary roles were centered on visual software development.
• I developed plugins for the VisIt suite of visualization software tools to rapidly read simulation data.
• I developed methods to analyze simulation data and provide key statistics regarding the stability of generated plasma, if an effort to provide focus to future experimental development.

I was responsible for writing and running simulations regarding cell growth and protein localization. Then I would verify the simulations against experimental work where I would grow bacteria and visualize them through fluorescent microscopy.

• As the owner and operator of a painting business, I was intimately involved in all the aspects of running a small business. My primary focus was on providing high-quality results in a reasonable timeframe to my.
• Provide potential clients with a written estimate of cost for painting and emphasize the value of the service.
• Market the business to attract new clients.
• Hire and manage a small team (6-8) of painters.
• Provide supplies and run multiple jobsites in an efficient manner.
