• Integrated mechanistic modeling outputs with experimental data to refine process parameters, enhancing process understanding and accelerating regulatory review cycles. • Contributed to validation sampling plan designs by pinpointing critical process parameters, ensuring alignment with data quality objectives. • Assisted in the creation, testing, or validation of new laboratory methods, contributing to scientific innovation and enhancing project outcomes. • Supported regulatory documentation efforts by ensuring experimental records are audit-ready and align with FDA/EMA standards for product development.

I spearheaded research for award-winning Director of Graduate Studies in lab studying age-related neurological disorders, Parkinson’s Disease, HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND), & glial-neuronal interactions. Key highlights include: • Instrumental to success of discovery research improving brain health, leading independent experiments on alpha-synuclein proteins and neuronal dysfunction as part of aging process. • Directed all aspects of research process including experimental design and data analysis, adhering to strict lab protocols, ethical standards, and safety guidelines to maintain lab and research integrity. • Lifted neurological understanding into via advanced research techniques including immunofluorescence and animal research, integrating emerging industry trends into designs and pivoting goals as necessary. • Provided actionable insight to top-ranked program, analyzing complex datasets utilizing ImageJ technology.

I delivered state-of-the-art research for award-winning Medical Director of Cell Therapy Collections & Processing. Key highlights include: • Studied under Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB) Foundation Hall of Fame winner (Chance John Luckey, MD/PhD) in lab earning National Institute of Health (NIH) Complement-ARIE Challenge Prize for crowdsourcing innovative ideas on New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). • Immunology research included cytokinetic interactions during anti-red blood cell alloantibody production. • Delivered data-driven insights, analyzing experimental research data using FlowJo and Prism software. • Consistently updated process/approach, collaborating with team members and integrating emerging trends. • Conducted immunology and pathology experiments on 100s of mice including cheek bleeds, intraperitoneal (IP) injections, and blood transfusions adhering to ethical and procedural standards. Expertise includes ELISA, Flow Cytometry, immunofluorescence techniques, and advanced animal research.

I lifted customer service for leading healthcare provider, documenting patient vital signs (blood pressure, weight, and heart rate), answering patient questions, drew blood and other specimens, and assisting with scheduling. Key highlights include: Expanded healthcare industry insights across medical workflows, clinical procedures, and patient care.

Managed research surrounding motor learning and recall by collecting data from ten subjects for an overall project; learned about motor recollection processes. Learned how to recruit human subjects and the ethics surrounding human research

I conducted biological research cataloging novel surgical incisions as well as converting teaching materials during the pandemic. Key highlights include: • Collected and analyzed cadaver data, documenting innovative surgical methods for fasciotomies. • Converted Flash-based teaching materials into HTML format during pandemic disruption for continuity. • Developed skills in data analysis, literature review, and critical analysis in academic research environment.
