I assisted Dr. Manning with some of her experiments involving cancer cell lines in an attempt to figure out how different drug applications affect DNA damage. I learned how to split cell lines, perform westerns, and other tasks around the lab to keep it maintained and clean.

I am a teaching assistant for Chemistry 1010 where I will be helping undergraduate students during their chemistry labs. I will be setting up lab every week and will be grading my student's prelab questions every week during lab. I will also be available during lab to answer any questions and clear up any confusions that the students have while performing their experiments.

I attend Worcester Polytechnic Institute and am double majoring in Chemical Engineering and Biochemistry. After my undergraduate studies, I hope to enter the field of pharmaceutical development.
