Consegna is a specialty pharmaceutical company that reformulates known, safe drugs and creates long-acting injectable (LAI) medications with improved clinical and economic benefits. These long-acting drug formulations enable a single administration to provide a therapeutic effect ranging from several days to many weeks or months.

I tutor high school and undergraduate students in general chemistry and analytical chemistry. I teach them the thought process needed to go about solving a particular problem, and tailored to each student, on a private one-on-one basis. Topics of their choice are chosen and covered during each session. Concepts are usually centered on acid-base chemistry.

Altamira designs, builds, and tests instruments used in heterogeneous catalysis. My main duties are testing the instruments to ensure electrical components work properly, the software interface communicates with each part of the instrument, and that the testing modes all yield the desired outcome. This includes verifying calibration, TPR, TPD, and.
