As a graduate research assistant I supported Dr. Santoro's lab with the cultivation of marine prokaryotes. My secondary responsibilities include lab support activities like designing and refining chemical assays, supply and equipment ordering, and fieldwork. My personal research focused on cultivating prokaryotic microorganisms from the mesopelagic (dark.

Horn Point Laboratories, Cambridge MD

After working at Horn Point Lab for 6 months I was promoted to FRA II and my role as the cultivation support technician became more appropriate for the skills acquired during my M.S. As a Faculty Research Assistant II, my main responsibilities were maintaining bacterial and archaeal cultures, performing physiology experiments on bacterial and archaeal.
