Frederick, Md

Project Management Experience: - As lead technician, I was responsible for a majority of project literature review, project design, budgeting, data analysis, supply ordering, coordination of a 4 person team of technicians to execute project aims, as well as assisting with writing final report.Scientific Skills:- BSL 2, 3, & 4 level containment experience- Provided scientific data addressing specific biological agent knowledge gaps that improved hazard, risk, and threat assessments in support of biodefense planning and response. Data from threat agents significantly improved the fidelity of hazard and threat/risk assessment modeling of aerosol and other bioterrorism scenarios for bacterial threat agents.Quality Assurance Skills: - Composed experimental plans (incl. protocols, budgeting, scheduling, equipment needs), compiled project data, co-authored final project report, developed standard operating procedures (SOP's), and drafted equipment operation and maintenance protocols. - Experienced with Information Management Software for document control and Laboratory Information Management System Software for tracking purchases, supplies, biological inventory, and Select Agent tracking.Illustration skills: - Provided internal and external departmental graphic design and form development services for scientific presentations, proposals, reports, and Select Agent tracking.

- Thesis: Construction of a Nourseothricin Antibiotic Resistance Gene Cassette for Use in Burkholderia spp. Efflux Pump Deficient Strains - Worked in the BSL-2 lab 15-20hrs a week, year round, 4 years.- Outstanding Student Award- Merit Work Study Award- American Society of Microbiology Undergraduate Research Fellowship- Microbiology Undergraduate Scholarship- Colorado Distinguished Scholar Award- Hughes Undergraduate Research Scholar Status: Competitive program providing funding to pair students with research faculty to develop their own 4-year research project under the supervision of a faculty mentor.
