Performed routine maintenance and inspections to ensure optimum calibration and condition of equipment. Prepared solvents, solutions, reagents, and apparatuses according to facility guidelines. Maintained clean laboratory facilities, responsible for setup and breakdown of equipment

Undertook a self-directed bioinformatics study as part of my senior research experience focused on the effects of specific somatic mutations in the KMT2C gene with regards to mortality outcomes in patients with triple negative breast cancer. Gained valuable experience in collecting, filtering, and evaluating data from online genomic, proteomic, and interactomic databases including cBioPortal, UCSC Xena Browser, GEPIA, TCGA, GTEx, and Ensembl. Adapted high-level thinking to processes such a transcriptional co-activation, multifactorial modification of the histone code, and protein functional domain disruptions to determine mutation-related net biological effects

Assisted in the cultivation of lifelong learning and for a commitment to sustainable food and living practices through common gardening and natural space maintenance tasks.

Assisted in research experiments that involved organic synthesis, mechanism deduction, and optimization. Worked under the supervision of a doctoral student whose dissertation centered on development of an efficient, pragmatic, and scalable methodology for ecologically friendly disposal of nuclear waste
