Upstream lead for a late-stage biosimilar project

Bend, Oregon, United States

Developed intensified and automated bioreactor manufacturing platform process and successfully supported process handoff from R&D development to manufacturing operations: - Authored key technical report for platform process tech transfer form R&D to operations.- IFPAC 2022 Conference Presentation: "Automated nutrient Feed Control Using Inline Raman Spectroscopy in Intensified CHO Cell Cultures"- Developed streamlined automation schemes for bioreactor control using Emerson DeltaV- Managed numerous external collaborations

Bend, Oregon

- Implemented automation schemes for Raman Spectroscopy based nutrient feeding in CHO N stage bioreactors.- Subject matter expert for high inoculation density (HID) fed-batch reactors.- Developed pilot scale SUB capabilities. Project lead for first successful high density perfusion bioreactor run at pilot scale. - Authored tech transfer documents.- Presented at internal technology forums.- Aided in development of automation and bioreactor controls systems.-Implemented 6S organization into the lab space

Bothell, Washington

- Authored troubleshooting equipment "playbook" to be using in manufacturing. -Supported the authorship of GMP documents- Trained in GMP and GLP standards

I supported the Reaction Kinetics and Biokinetics courses for the CU Chemical Engineering Department by holding office hours, assisting students, grading homework, and proctoring exams.

I actively acted as internal support for active client projects by authoring technical documents, performing equipment qualification and maintenance, executing water system testing, performing statistical trending analysis, and maintaining the laboratory space. In addition to internal support, I have taken on client project work. Most notably, I successfully executed an ALI deposition study to support a client project in developing a robust cleaning method for a pharmaceutical manufacturing process.

Cu Boulder

-Generated data and performed data analysis for polymerization behavior of radical thiol-ene "click-chemistry" reactions. -Ran FTIR and NMR to generated data set on reaction rate and stability of of 1°, 2°, and 3° thiols of thiol-ene reaction. Data was published in Macromolecules: Long, Katelyn & Bongiardina, Nicholas & Mayordomo, Pablo & Olin, Mikayla & Ortega, Alexi & Bowman, Christopher. (2020). Effects of 1°, 2°, and 3° Thiols on Thiol–Ene Reactions: Polymerization Kinetics and Mechanical Behavior. Macromolecules. 53. 10.1021/acs.macromol.0c00369.

Boulder, Co

As a Learning Assistant for the Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology Department, my largest responsibilities included teaching three weekly classes, managing small-group exam review sessions, and holding office hours, and grading student quizzes. Gained leadership experience directing groups of students in problem-solving activities. Strengthened communication skills through leading small-group lectures and through answering questions during one-on-one help sessions.

Colorado School Of Mines

Independently conducted and performed experiments to determine Neodymium- NTA stability constants through spectrophotometric titrations. Additionally, honed analysis techniques for large datasets with Hyperquad Suite, in order to provide context for the titration results. Gained thorough experience running precise experiments in professional lab setting, encluding managing problem solving, and redesigning more effective experiment procedures.

As a keyholder, I aided in production, cleanup, packaging, and delivery receiving.Additionally, I actively acted as a representative at Whole Foods to demo the products, encouraging sales to 200+ people daily
