I work with our Executive Director and other board members to ensure that the mission and values of Clean Water for the World are being met to provide free access to clean water for communities who would otherwise be without. I also serve as the lead for the Engineering Advisory Committee to support our partnership with The University of Toledo Chemical Engineering Department.

My primary responsibility was managing the approximately 1,000 annual customer service testing requests and balancing instrument demand with ongoing research and test development efforts for solid, liquid, and low field NMR by organizing incoming samples, communicating with technicians for sample preparation, and performing routine maintenance and troubleshooting.Additionally, I worked to develop new liquid-state NMR test methods, wrote SOPs and provided training, mentored co-ops, and… Show more My primary responsibility was managing the approximately 1,000 annual customer service testing requests and balancing instrument demand with ongoing research and test development efforts for solid, liquid, and low field NMR by organizing incoming samples, communicating with technicians for sample preparation, and performing routine maintenance and troubleshooting.Additionally, I worked to develop new liquid-state NMR test methods, wrote SOPs and provided training, mentored co-ops, and served on the Cooper Women's Network board as the "What I Do" lunch-and-learn lead.

Used my knowledge from previous internships to develop a method to identify the presence of vegetable oil in competitor tires using FTIR and crosschecked the results with the NMR method I had developed. Assisted full time engineering staff and technicians by collecting dynamic mechanical analysis data and drawing better correlations between the lab-scale testing and on-road tire performance.Updated and validated the testing method for a standard compression-set test to meet new… Show more Used my knowledge from previous internships to develop a method to identify the presence of vegetable oil in competitor tires using FTIR and crosschecked the results with the NMR method I had developed.

Worked with full time engineers and chemists to develop new solid and liquid state NMR experiments to reverse engineer the composition of tire components and tested proof of concept lab work for future tire technologies through organic synthesis reactions. Additional responsibilities included managing incoming samples and developing an inventory management system for the NMR lab, communicating testing progress to potential customers, and optimizing the data analysis program to… Show more Worked with full time engineers and chemists to develop new solid and liquid state NMR experiments to reverse engineer the composition of tire components and tested proof of concept lab work for future tire technologies through organic synthesis reactions. Additional responsibilities included managing incoming samples and developing an inventory management system for the NMR lab, communicating testing progress to potential customers, and optimizing the data analysis program to automatically determine the polymer composition of tire samples.
