Medical Technologist

Gago Center for Fertility

I analyzed biological samples using microscopic techniques to assess sperm concentration, motility, and morphology, providing fertility data to patients. I was also responsible for washing male specimen samples with centrifugation or separation devices to isolate the highest quality sperm for intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in-vitro fertilization (IVF), improving the chances of successful pregnancy.

Additionally, I processed over 200 blood tests weekly to measure hormone levels in female patients, using immunoassay devices to monitor and provide insights into their pregnancy cycles.

Molecular Technologist

Great Lakes Medical Laboratory

I conducted over 800 routine medical tests daily, using extraction and purification techniques to accurately analyze and detect various diseases, including COVID-19, Influenza A/B, and STIs. I also contributed to the development and implementation of new medical panel tests, providing valuable data to expand the laboratory’s testing capabilities. Additionally, I identified operational inefficiencies and created three new standard operating procedures in the first quarter of 2021 to enhance reliability and improve efficiency.

Research and Development Scientist

Archer Daniels Midland

I provided subject matter expertise by conducting independent research on lecithin's thermal stability and shared key findings with the emulsification lab to support further research. I assisted the R&D emulsifier manager with over 10 research projects, ensuring timely completion while building my knowledge base on lecithin products and their applications. Additionally, I conducted routine functionality testing of lecithin products to ensure accurate, reproducible data, helping resolve customer complaints in 2020.

Organic Laboratory Assistant

Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy

I prepared over 200 soil samples daily, using extraction and sonication techniques to efficiently extract organic compounds for analysis by chemists. I ensured 100% accuracy in data processing by conducting rigorous quality control and reviewing reports from environmental instruments. Additionally, I maintained and calibrated instruments daily to ensure their accuracy and precision.

Undergraduate Research Assistant

Michigan State University Department of Chemistry

I expressed TEV protease from a bacterial genome using cloning techniques, producing the protease on time for graduate students to use as a genomic marker in their research without delays. I documented the research in a scientific journal and presented the findings through poster presentations to showcase its significance. Additionally, I assisted three graduate students with their projects, broadening my knowledge of bacterial and molecular techniques applied in research settings.

Certified Nursing Assistant

Cypress Home Care

As a CNA, I provided comprehensive care to a brain-injured and a paraplegic patient, assisting with all aspects of daily living, including personal hygiene, mobility, and feeding. I also offered emotional support and companionship, fostering a compassionate and supportive environment to enhance the patient's overall well-being and quality of life. My role involved ensuring their comfort, safety, and dignity while maintaining close communication with medical staff to monitor and address any health concerns.
