• Enhanced understanding of manufacturing processes through quality data analysis and product assessments.

•Formulated innovative flavors and fragrances. Gained hands-on experience in flavor creation and design under supervision, aligning with good creative practices.• Created a yuzu and pepper flavoring and incorporated into the powdered coating for potato chips.• Formulated vanilla flavor recipes and incorporated into confectionary such as marshmallows.• Created a masculine eau de perfume with a green base focused on stemone and centered around “Jungle Tea”.

• Utilized chemical analysis to investigate historical uses of excavated artifacts such as ampules from an apothecary to determine if the site was suitable for preservation.• Analyzed artifacts for the Castle House Archaeology Project to determine materials used by Idahoan painter James Castle, such as soot and saliva.• Presented my findings during the Northwest Anthropological Conference.
