I lead a team of analysts in assay validation, using FCS Express 7, Excel, and Tableau to analyze and visualize quantitative flow cytometry data. I organize and deliver comprehensive training sessions on data analysis methods to global and local teams to ensure consistent application of protocols. I'm skilled in VBA scripting and have developed 14 unique VBA projects to enhance my own workflows - 4 of which have been incorporated into Labcorp procedures.

I built flow cytometry analysis templates in FCS Express 7 for the visualization and quantification of data during assay validation. I collaborated with Labcorp scientists on gating strategies and analyzed a broad spectrum of assays, including receptor occupancy, phenotyping, and intracellular cytokine. To capture the numerical data, I created macro-enabled excel workbooks and plotted the values in Tableau. I also provided live trainings to the global analysis team before the assay transferred… Show more I built flow cytometry analysis templates in FCS Express 7 for the visualization and quantification of data during assay validation.

I validated multicolor flow cytometric assays contracted to Labcorp at the pre-clinical development stage. I measured assay precision and stability through laboratory experimentation and acquired data on either a BD FACSLyric or a BD FACSCanto II. Additionally, I wrote reports and SOPs, ordered reagents, performed instrument and assay troubleshooting, communicated with the client and/or scientist, and performed data analysis and compilation using Winlist 9.0, FCS Express 7, and Tableau. At this… Show more I validated multicolor flow cytometric assays contracted to Labcorp at the pre-clinical development stage.

My master’s thesis project was focused on determining the function of neutrophil-derived extracellular vesicles in aiding host immunity against Staphylococcus aureus. I measured changes in the effector responses of human macrophages after treatment with extracellular vesicles. These responses included the phagocytosis and killing of S. aureus, reactive oxygen species production, cytokine release, and costimulatory molecule expression.• Advisor: Mallary Greenlee-Wacker, Ph.D.• Technical… Show more My master’s thesis project was focused on determining the function of neutrophil-derived extracellular vesicles in aiding host immunity against Staphylococcus aureus.

I taught three sections of undergraduate microbiology labs for two semesters. I also held weekly office hours outside of class and attended weekly meetings (20 hours/week). • Classroom responsibilities: Set up laboratory experiments, taught and supervised students, graded lab reports
