As a member of the Hajibabaei Lab at the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics, I prepare research manuscripts for publication in scientific journals, conduct bioinformatic and statistical analyses of large data sets, and train graduate students and staff in data analysis methods.

Guelph, ON

Through the course of completing my Master's thesis, I gained extensive experience in advanced molecular techniques, bioinformatics, statistical analysis, and scientific communication. This includes optimization of PCR amplification of multiple gene regions, library preparation for Illumina MiSeq next generation sequencing platform, assisting with.

Guelph, ON

I wrote and presented the Bioinformatics & Data Analysis section of the Protocols for Next-Generation Sequencing workshop held on August 17, 2015 for the International Barcode of Life Conference. This workshop had approximately 300 registered participants. I gave a 1 hour lecture on DNA Marker Selection for Plant Metabarcoding to a graduate level.

Integrative Vertebrate Biology, 4th year courseStudents in this course examined patterns and processes in vertebrate evolution. I was responsible for marking exams as well as term papers which included evaluation of drafts to provide constructive criticism.

Population Genetics, 3rd year, >100 students. Duties consisted of leading the weekly tutorials, holding office hours, marking assignments and exams, and invigilating exams.I helped students develop problem solving and computer skills while applying population genetics theory.

Assisted with processing environmental samples and performing molecular analyses (i.e. DNA extraction from water, soil, and tissue samples, DNA quantification, PCR, gel electrophoresis, Sanger sequencing, and Next Generation Sequencing) for ongoing research projects

Richmond Hill

Assisted students with learning concepts in math, chemistry, biology, and physics at high school (grades 9-12) and first year university levelHelped students develop problem solving strategies and improve their study habitsOver 350 hours of experience

Investigated the use of genetic analysis for determining the geographic origin of specimens of protected species Sistrurus catenatus catenatusExtracted DNA from blood and tissue, confirmed species identifications using DNA sequence analysis, optimized two multiplexes, and genotyped samples at six microsatellite lociApplied statistical modeling software to.

Toronto, Canada Area

A seven week position through the Summer Experience ProgramDuring my placement at the ROM, I prepared skeletons for installation in the Mammalogy and Vertebrate Palaeontology collections of the Natural History department, performed inventory of the mammal prep lab walk-in freezer, and pinned insects for the Entomology collection.

Richmond Hill, ON

While the office was between full-time receptionists, I received visitors, directed calls on a multi-line phone system, prepared courier shipments of documents, handled in-coming and out-going mail, performed data entry, and prepared requests for quotes and purchase orders as needed.
