🔹 Generated over $10,000 of savings for the Donor Analytical Sciences (DAS) team by developing and implementing a pipette calibration cost savings plan, comprising of the 3R’s (Retain, Removal, Reclassification).🔹 Led inventory management of all ~120 GMP assets (Pipettes, BSCs, Centrifuges, Vortex Mixers etc.), communicating with vendors to ensure GxP/ISO calibration schedule (IS0 17025, ISO 8655) compliance, and thorough organization of assets in preparation for potential FDA audits.🔹 Implemented a company-wide procedural change that confirmed a 10% increase in yield by collaborating with 2 team members to investigate the potential for increased spore titer when donor material was exposed to adverse environmental conditions. 🔹 Mentored a third-year Bioengineering/Biochemistry Co-Op student, supporting the development of the student’s wet lab techniques and enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills culminating in the student authoring a final report which demonstrated their experimental investigation of the potential for various reagents to positively impact spore titer yield 🔹 Moderated the DEI in STEM panel at the 2023 Boston Bacterial Meeting discussing with 4 prominent academic leaders the importance of diversifying the STEM field and how to increase accessibility and opportunity to underrepresented groups

🔹 Collaborated with a cross-functional team of Research Associates, Scientists, and Physicians to propose innovative and novel hypotheses and troubleshoot and improve ongoing experiments🔹 Cultured a diverse collection of gram-negative bacterial species (E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter) and perform broad spectrum antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) that characterized mechanisms of resistance
