HDO Health is a medical device portfolio company dedicated to bringing life-saving technologies to the world. The first medical device in development is a junctional tourniquet that innovates upon designs currently on the market to achieve faster and more efficacious hemorrhage control. HDO Health strives to be Heart-led, Data-driven, and Outcomes-focused in all that we do. As a Commercialization Associate Intern at HDO Health, my primary responsibility has been the development of the Design History File in preparation of FDA 510(k) submission. Specifically, I have drafted our Traceability Matrix, Hazard Analysis, FMEAs, and Usability Plan, and more. I have also helped plan and coordinate formative, summative, and perfused cadaver testing prior to 510(k) submission. Alongside our market research consultant, I conducted a market analysis of competitor medical devices and developed survey materials for more data collection. I have had the opportunity to partner with technical co-founders and external design, testing, validation, manufacturing, and distribution partners to finalize medical product design and have participated in poster presentation and networking events.

As an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant at The Ohio State University, I have the opportunity to guide students through labs based on numerous engineering disciplines. Additionally, I am responsible for evaluating students' technical writing and communicating feedback clearly. Although many of my responsibilities in this role are technical, I also have the opportunity to serve as a mentor to first-year students in the college of engineering - giving them advice in terms of course selection, time management, and prioritizing time away from coursework.

Through this collaborative experience with Form5 Prosthetics, I had the opportunity to work with other students from local Columbus schools to innovate prosthetic-based solutions for recipients who have limb differences. My specific project involved developing a prosthetic for a young girl hoping to play volleyball. Over the course of this 6-week workshop, my team was able to interact with the recipient, familiarize ourselves with her specific needs, and design and build a functional prosthetic that we were able to give the recipient upon the conclusion of the final CO-FAB weekend-long workshop.

As a summer intern at METTLER TOLEDO, I worked with the Technical Application Support team to ensure our instruments would fit the purposes of our customers. Using analytical chemistry equipment including pH meters and titrators, I gathered information regarding the chemical composition of material samples. In the realm of thermal analysis, I used instruments including the dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) to define the material properties of customer samples. My work at METTLER TOLEDO played an important role in ensuring the production of quality products across global industries. METTLER TOLEDO is a global manufacturer and marketer of precision instruments and associated services. They are the largest provider of weighing instruments for laboratory, industrial, and food retail applications. METTLER TOLEDO also serves as a lead provider of analytical instrumentation in the fields of life science, engineering, and pharmaceutical development. Their instrumentation ranges from lab-top balances to process analytics instruments used to improve production processes.

During my internship with Charles River Laboratories, I developed an ergonomic risk-assessment and elimination tool specifically designed for departments experiencing high rates of musculoskeletal discomfort. By collaborating with department supervisors across the site, as well as fellow employees in the Environmental, Health Safety, and Sustainability (EHS&S) department, I was able to develop an Excel-based tool that fit the needs of the site, while also gaining a greater understanding of safety assessment as a whole. During my time in this role, I also streamlined the process of completing employee ergonomic evaluations.

As an intern in Charles River Laboratory's Necropsy Department, I had a number of responsibilities. Before I was able to dig into the day to day activities, I first had to get “up to speed” on the site’s Standard Operating Procedures. Other responsibilities included: completing prep work which allowed studies to run more efficiently, change out stock solutions, and even begin some dissections of stock rats within just a few weeks. After the Necropsy department, I had the opportunity to work in the Bioanalytical Chemistry department where I calibrated pipettes, made solutions, and pulled stock samples in order to aid the general functionality of the group. I performed many sample extractions, which successfully ran through mass spectrometers. I also had the opportunity to work alongside the method development team, which developed protocols for fellow chemists. During my time at Charles River Laboratories, I had to maintain data integrity and was even able to speak briefly to a few members of the FDA regarding the lab procedure I was performing during a site inspection.
