I offer one on one functions, calculus, and science tutoring services to university and high-school students. I communicate with students to confirm the specific areas challenging each individual and prepare an ongoing learning plan. Using a variety of visual and oral communication techniques tailored to each student's specific learning style I ensure they fully understand key topics. I also compile notes taken during tutoring sessions and send them to students, so they can reference them whenever needed.

I conducted a research study using Phytospherix, phytoglycogen extracted from sweeet corn, investigating its interactions with common cosmetic ingredietns. I was also able to work on new product development of bio-composite films for skincare applications made with phytoglycogen. I was given some key constraints and criteria and worked within them to develop prototypes for testing and evaluation. This role also gave me the experience of working in Mirexus' production facility making Phytospherix. Additionally, I used my knowledge of company health and safety policies, GMP, and ISO to prepare multiple SOP documents for various procedures followed in the cosmetics lab and preparation of samples for customers.

I ensured proper zone coverage and frequent customer interaction while learning to work in a fast-paced environment with high customer volume and risk of product theft. I helped coworkers when possible to build lasting relationships, including management resulting in a promotion to a department with higher value merchandise. I effectively used customer service skills to recommend products, resulting in the achievement of many sales goals for commission and the sale of over $250,000 of product over a four month period.

I was able to gain experience working in the kitchen, preparing customer's orders, and working the cash. I helped with preparing all the food items and maintained a clean, safe, work environment. I was frequently interacting with customers ensuring they had an enjoyable experience.
