After instructing laboratory skills and chemical theory for over a decade at the college and high school levels, I have prepared many for careers in chemistry and biotechnology. I am excited to have successfully redirected my skills back into analytical (and biophysical) research, and now serve that population in my role at Waters Technologies.

I bring to the table, a Master of Science Degree in Chemistry (Research) with undergraduate degrees in chemistry and biology. My studies included physical and analytical chemistry research in which I studied protein-lipid interactions utilizing HPLC, UV-Vis absorbance, fluorescent microscopy, and Langmuir films. During this time period I developed excellent wet chemistry skills and experimental techniques that I have employed in the classes I have taught and in my bench positions. Recent experiences include extensive use of LCMS for lipid identification and quantification, peptide mapping, and protein footprinting (HDX and FPOP) to elucidate structural information and dynamics corresponding to sequence modifications, ligand binding, and unfolding. I am very familiar with Microsoft Office, various analytical softwares, and coding. I have worked independently and as a team to train and supervise up to 70 + people at a time. In my past and current positions I have shown consistent growth. My motivation and organization have allowed me to multitask between projects, and to set and achieve goals. My ability to communicate effectively in person and in writing contribute to my success. Lastly, I have an upbeat, can-do personality that is intelligent and forward focused.
