At Surly Brewing Company, my role as a Porter was to bus tables, run food/beer, help hostess'/servers/cashiers, and emulate Surly's fantastic vibe!

I worked in the Zebrafish Core Facility at the University of Minnesota Medical School in the Department of Neuroscience where I cared for, and fed zebrafish. I was responsible for ensuring the organization and cleanliness of the lab, as well as the water chemistry and health of the zebrafish that are being used in research according to IACUC protocols. Additionally, I was responsible for breeding zebrafish (WT and transgenic) and embryo collection upon request of UMN researchers.

This summer I took part in Harvard's 2022 Summer Systems Biology Internship program where I conducted research in the Timothy Mitchison Laboratory at Harvard Medical School. Specifically, I worked under mentorship of Dr. Tae Yeon Yoo where I conducted experiments aimed at expanding the understanding of nuclear transport in mammalian cells, and the effects that post-translational modifications of nucleoporins have on modulating this transport. Experimental skills and tools I used in this position include fluorescent microscopy (FRAP experiments), mammalian cell culture, molecular cloning and primer design, Python (Jupyter Lab), RStudio, ApE, Ilastik, and FIJI (ImageJ).Information on the internship, internship events, as well as myself and accompanying interns: https://www.sysbiointernship.hms.harvard.edu/
