Responsibilities included: • Ensure client satisfaction by acting as the main point of contact in all matters related to ICON Laboratory Services • To manage and monitor studies adhering to Good Clinical Practice regulations. • Provide clients with regular study updates and communicate study progress with clients and the project management team in a professional and responsible manner. • Proactively monitor study budget, escalate issues of dissatisfaction to management, set timelines and monitor shipments and storage procedures, and provide support to clients in LIMS systems. • Review newly assigned protocols and amendments. When possible, coordinate and manage the completion of the Clinical Laboratory Worksheet (CLW) and communicate information as required to other departments within ICON.

• Aid in the design and execution of pre-clinical pharmaceutical research projects in multiple rodent models of autoimmune disease to generate robust and repeatable results for a portfolio of customers. • Use technical writing skills to author SOPs, maintain records within Microsoft Excel, and communicate via email and teleconference with customers. • Develop and implement new protocols for dissection, tissue collections, cell isolation and culture to offer innovative and unique services for CRO customers. • Advance and manufacture disease induction kits for purchase by other large pharmaceutical and academic institutions, maintaining organization and precision in production while minimizing waste and overhead. • Communicate with prominent research institutions, large and small pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, and other CROs to provide information and advice on the execution of protocols published by Hooke Labs.

• Conduct basic in-vivo techniques in rodent autoimmune disease models such as oral, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous dosing of drugs, clinical disease scoring in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, dissection and tissue collection for histological or flow cytometric analysis, and blood collection and processing for pharmacokinetics. • Proficient in multi-color flow cytometry (staining and acquisition) and analysis of data using FlowJo and FACS Diva software. • Execute analytical techniques such as ELISA, rtPCR, and CBA.

Using an extensive skill set in analytical and organic chemistry methodology, including GC/MS, UV-Vis, Immunoassays, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, I provide assistance to current students using written and oral approaches. Through repetition of laboratory practices, I am confident in isolation, purification, and identification of organic compounds and enzymes and the presentation of these experimental results. This effort has resulted in written and oral communication of results, primarily through laboratory reports.

As a laboratory technician with Normandeau Associates, Inc, I examined specimens using analytical laboratory methodology and practices. I exercised my training in PPE and OSHA to safely execute standard operating procedures involving the use of hazardous chemicals. Being new to the field, it was essential that I quickly adapted to the process of learning new methodology with little supervision. I then conducted this new skill set with a high level of independence while also being a valued team member. With a strong commitment to deadlines and client confidentiality, I managed multiple cases simultaneously while streamlining communication efforts within the laboratory through daily record keeping
