Using phage display to identify peptides which will serve as biological tools and possible therapeutics for studying and treating Huntington's disease.

Building off the previous years' curriculum, we explored the science behind water contamination, what it means to be alive, and the COVID-19 pandemic. We thought about these topics within the larger context of science literacy and science communication and the students performed experiments at home to practice their own skills in collecting, interpreting.

Annandale On Hudson, NY

Faculty fellow in the 'Communication' lab strand focused around communication methods including print, visual, and new media. Collaboratively developed curricula for my January 2019 class of first years. The overall theme for Citizen Science 2019 was "water" and focused on developing scientific literacy around the topic with a social and personal.

Brooklyn, NY

I developed and taught the curriculum for a two-week, immersive science literacy course for non-traditional college students as part of the Bard Microcollege at the Brooklyn Public Library. This intensive course focused around the science of water in our daily lives. As a class we evaluated the social, historical, and scientific background of topics.

Greater New York City Area

Developed NGSS-guided curriculum for after school programs at YWCA sites in Brownsville and Coney Island. I independently led hands-on activities that employed active learning strategies with ~160 students between grades 1-5 on a weekly basis. Common lesson plans were developed and adapted for grade-specific levels to ensure successful implementation in.

Irvine, CA

Led and coordinated multiple interdisciplinary research projects funded by the JDRF, Helmsley Foundation and industry collaborations. Our research focused on the development of translational applications in biosynthesis and medical diagnostics tools for Type 1 Diabetes. I also investigated methods of screening endpoint products generated in enzymatic.

Greater Philadelphia Area

I managed multiple projects investigating antibiotic resistance resulting in 6 peer-reviewed publications. I am proficient in synthetic organic chemistry and microbiology techniques including analytical characterization (NMR, MS, HPLC, IR), bacterial growth assays, and BSL2 protocols. I mentored undergraduate and graduate students in both professional and.
