Manufactured chemicals containing precious metals at the pilot plant scale. Trained in air-free synthesis for manufacturing moisture or air-sensitive compounds and proper handling and storage of such materials.Reviewed and revised existing batch records and procedures for improvements. Drafted new procedures for products that will be scaled up from development to pilot plant scale. Collaborated with quality department to find and correct root causes of batch failures or customer complaints. Trained in group lean initiatives (5S). Separated waste streams based on precious metal content to save on refining operational costs. Wrote purchase requisitions for laboratory equipment and chemicals.Kept calibration records for all laboratory balances. Rewrote all calibration logs to conform to NIST Handbook 44 standards for laboratory balance calibration tolerances. Helped develop a plant-wide standard operating procedure for using, calibrating, and maintaining balances.Appointed as sustainability champion for the site July 2016. Currently leading a team of six volunteers to implement projects to improve and reduce energy , water, and waste.

Graduate level research as required for a Master's degree in Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania.Joined a new research group that required in the first few months that I work with my professor in order to obtain basic lab equipment and instrumentation necessary to carry out experiments. Included basic lab administration duties such as appropriating grant funds in order to pay for small purchases and filling out requisitions through the chemistry department business office for more expensive instruments.Primary project involved using finite-difference time-domain analysis of nanoparticles in order to model their optical properties.
