Assists in taking thorough notes for numerous classes including lectures and laboratory for the accessibility team at Fraklin and Marshall.

I worked under a supervisor in the Cardiology department. With my supervisor's guidance, I learned a lot about clinical research. I helped with many basic laboratory techniques and procedures such as; serial dilutions, gel electrophoresis, Southern blotting, immunoblotting, western blotting, H&E (hematoxylin and eosin) staining, and immunofluorescence staining. I was able to section, stain, and photograph tissues on slides with a microscope. I was also able to perform numerous dissections on mice. I performed these dissections on different aged mice; including some organisms that had to be extracted from an embryo sac. Additional techniques that I helped with include PCR, centrifugation, genotyping, and DNA sequencing.

I attended St. Mark's School in Southborough, MA for all four of my high school years. During this time, I was a three-sport athlete for all four years. This experience taught me time management, responsibility, collaboration, and teamwork.
