I have a passion for scientific communication and I enjoy educating diverse audiences. My work experience is multi-faceted, ranging from scientific writing and consulting for online resources to hands-on lab-based breast and prostate cancer research funded by grants, to training adults in a biotech business, and teaching university students. I have significant experience producing high-quality scientific publications and written/digital external user facing materials. I have mainly been interested in oncology and studying the association between diet and cancer prevention and progression. In addition to oncology, my areas of expertise include Genetics, and Molecular and Cellular Biology. Currently, I am the Scientific Trainer for new and existing Teammates for Horizon Discovery at the Boulder, Colorado location. I conceptualize, develop and deliver impactful scientific training materials and contribute to communication activities for new product launches. Our company specializes in tools and services for gene modulation and editing such as CRISPR reagents, gene knock out models, and functional genomic screening (a neat video describing CRISPR can be found in the link below). We also specialize in molecular reference standards for clinically-relevant gene variants that are linked to disease. My personal specialties include: Tissue culture assays (migration, fractioning, flow cytometry, MTT, etc); Immunolocalization (-precipitation, -histochemistry, -cytochemistry); SDS-PAGE; confocal microscopy; In vivo and 3D growth models (nude mice, tumor xenograph, soft agar); DNA/RNA (cloning, recombinant protein expression/purification, PCR, DNA sequencing, northern/southern blot).
