Worked on Computer Based Information System (CBIS) Accuracy Project – physically and electronically sorted through and organized locations of sixteen years’ worth of compounds to make sure electronic records of compounds in their CBIS matched locations stored in respective wells and freezers.• Actively made buffers, medi-preps, plates, and compounds for use in cell-based assay kits• Enhanced my skills in precision, accuracy, and calculations for making dilutions and other solutions• Proficient in Excel in order to store and organize data to then be translated onto GraphPad Prism• Awarded Employee of the Month for September & networked with local biotech companies

• Picked up and delivered DNA & Plasmid samples to and from local biotech companies as well as from the UCSD Scripps Medical Research Institute• Sequenced DNA by analyzing gel electrophoresis, performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cleans and mini-preps, and also worked with thermocyclers to isolate segments of DNA for PCR analyzation• Developed Excel sheets to store customer information and data from PCR experiments.

Inspired students from 5th - 7th grade to pursue a possible field in STEM through interactive activities• Taught these younger students how DNA works by building DNA models out of candy and toothpicks, how physics works bybuilding bridges and paper airplanes, etc.• Showed kids who don’t have much knowledge about STEM or never liked science that it is fun and filled with endless possibilities• Helped coordinate events at local libraries every month to provide these interactive workshops to younger, curious students
