Research Experience
CHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT TECH IV SCIENTIST
Cambrex in Charles City, IA – June 2020-Present
· Conduct research in the Chemical Development department, investigating reaction optimization on numerous projects
· Work on each chemical project from initial presentation by client until reaction process is stable enough to proceed to the plant (scaled up)
· Collaborate with a team of project supervisors, principal scientists, analytical scientists, process engineers, and a controlled substance officer
· Independent execution of laboratory reactions and data analysis using HPLC, NMR, UPLC, and DoE software
· Aid in presentations and weekly updates to supervisors and clients
· Aid in lab instrument maintenance
INTERN OF CHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT
Cambrex in Charles City, IA – May-August 2019
Dr. Michael Tracey, Principal Scientist
· Worked in a process chemistry lab to develop an active pharmaceutical ingredient
· Investigative research and reaction optimization using organic chemistry and “design of experiments” (DoE) software
· Independent execution of laboratory research and data analysis using HPLC and UPLC
· Aided in writing and presenting weekly updates to the client
· Collaborated with supervising principal scientist, analytical scientists, process engineers, and project managers
· Formal presentation of research to the Department of Chemical Development at the conclusion of the summer
mentored advanced project student rEsearcher
Dr. Hanna Key, Department of Biochemistry – Grinnell College, June-August 2018
"Selective Biocatalysis"
· Explored the use of biocatalysis to promote synthetic chemistry
· Enzymatic kinetic resolution using lipase to create standard curves by which enantioselectivity could be analyzed; efficient alternative to chiral chromatography
· Specific aims of study:
o Perform an assay for the lipase-catalyzed esterification of 1-phenylethanol that produced high conversion and could be detected by GC
o Determine the ratio of enantiomers present in starting solutions of 1-phenylethanol and produce a standard curve that related enantioenrichment of the sample to the yield of the lipase catalyzed reaction
o Exhibit generality in aims 1 and 2 by applying the same method using other chiral alcohols that can undergo similar enzyme catalyzed reactions
· Worked with enzymatic reaction, organic reactions, synthetic chemistry, NMR, GC-MS
· MAP included initial proposal paper, final research paper, and final poster presentation
· Maintained meticulous and organized record of data and laboratory work
STUDENT RESEARCHER
Organic Chemistry II Laboratory, Grinnell College
· Coordinated in a group of two to plan, research, and design an experiment that utilized ring opening metathesis polymerization to create a norbornene compound, exo-PPhONDI (exo-N-Ph-7-oxanorbornene-5,6-dicarboxyimide)
· Formal presentation and written form of proposal presented to class and professor; final research paper submitted at the conclusion of the synthesis
STUDENT RESEARCHER
Biochemistry, Grinnell College
· Coordinated in a group of 3 to plan, design, and develop an assay that investigated whether adding BSA to enzyme preparations will increase the activity of enzymes
· Laboratory skills: nickel affinity chromatography column, SDS page, spectrophotometer to read protein activity and determine kinetic constants (Vmax, Km, Kcat, Keq, catalytic efficiency); generation of Michaelis-Menton curve and Lineweaver-Burke plot
· Final poster presentation to biology, biological chemistry, and chemistry department
STUDENT RESEARCHER
Microbiology, Grinnell College
· Worked in a group of 3 to plan an experiment that identified genes involved in the pathway for extracellular nuclease production, export, or regulation in S. marcescens
· Assay skills: generation of mutants of S. marcescens via transposon mutagenesis, identification of mutagenized colonies by plating on selective media, use of EcoRV to form plasmids, transformation using plasmids, isolation of plasmid DNA via gel electrophoresis, sequence of DNA on either side of transposon, use of bioinformatics to analyze transposon location, identification of interrupted genes and affected pathways
Clinical Experience

VOLUNTEER, OB-GYN WELCOME DESK
Pella Regional Health Center, Iowa, Dec 2019-April 2020
· This position entails welcoming new moms-to-be and their families and friends to the Obstetrics Unit. Responsibilities include escorting visitors and patients to their rooms, directing visitors to other areas of the hospital as needed, answering the obstetrics reception center phone, and filing prenatal records. This position ended early due to COVID-19 response as the volunteer program was shut down.

· Opportunity to shadow a nurse anesthetist in the operating room
· Exposure to case-review meetings, heart valve replacement, cardiac catheterization, overview cardiology
Nurse Anesthetist: Mark Kraemer
VOLUNTEER, GRINNELL REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
Weekly Project Volunteer, Jan. 2017-May 2017
I was successful in school not because I was born with exceptional giftedness, but because I have a hard work ethic and learned how to study effectively. It is incredibly rewarding to help young students develop those same skills so that they can find success in any field they pursue.
I was a paid tutor through Grinnell College for other undergraduate students while earning my B.A. in Biological Chemistry. I was also paid to T.A. for both General Chemistry and Organic II Lab.

I first establish how the student learns best (visual, auditory, I teach then you teach, timed, memorization, instant call back, etc.). I then work with the student's strengths to not only teach them the material in an effective way, but teach them general studying and learning strategies that they can implement in all of their classes.
