As a collaborator and project manager within the Consumer Innovation Practicum (CIP), I have focused on developing and honing qualitative marketing research skills under the mentorship of Dr. Stacy Wood and Dr. Colbey Reid. The remit of the CIP is to train the next generation of market researchers through immersive, marketing research projects with partner companies such as Burt's Bees, IQVIA, Cisco, Cotton Inc and Bayer Crop Science.The research techniques I have been trained on and… Show more As a collaborator and project manager within the Consumer Innovation Practicum (CIP), I have focused on developing and honing qualitative marketing research skills under the mentorship of Dr. Stacy Wood and Dr. Colbey Reid. The remit of the CIP is to train the next generation of market researchers through immersive, marketing research projects with partner companies such as Burt's Bees, IQVIA, Cisco, Cotton Inc and Bayer Crop Science.The research techniques I have been trained on and utilized for marketing research projects include observational ethnography, depth interviews and digital ethnography (netnography). The foundation for each of these research techniques is a rigorous, academic-based application of best practices and techniques. This foundation ensures conceptual insights and strategic recommendations are a robust, bias-free and authentic representation of the customer experience. Our insights guide strategic recommendations that are practical and complement existing cultural values, social norms, and corporate structure. Show less

Coordinate and direct chemists and scientists from in vitro and in vivo biology groups, formulations, analytical sciences and DMPK during peptide optimization and target validation. Interface with department’s leadership team and communicate strategy program updates to this group. • Developed and implemented the SAR strategy for optimization of unadorned and conjugated peptide analogs of hPYY (3-36). This strategy resulted in candidate selection of peptides that continue to be investigated for body weight reduction and glucose control.• Assisted in establishment of the peptide synthesis group within the Enteroendocrine Discovery Performance Unit. The remit of this group was to establish peptide synthesis infrastructure and expertise in peptide design, screening and optimization. Peptide drug discovery skills:• Experience synthesizing, purifying and characterizing peptide conjugates containing half-life extension technologies such as PEG polymers and fatty acids.• Experience with preclinical rodent models evaluating food intake and body weight reduction.• Knowledge about chemical strategies and devices for acute and chronic drug delivery.• Solid foundation in strategies to improve proteolytic stability and physical properties of native peptides. Understanding of DMPK models to evaluate in vivo protease stability, half-life and metabolic degradation sites.Small molecule drug discovery experience:• Designed, synthesized and optimized small molecules for the following receptor targets: FAS, SGLT-2, DGAT, GPR120, GPR39, TGR5 and PPAR-gamma• Designed and implemented azo-prodrug strategy for colonic delivery of bile acid receptor (TGR5) agonists.
