• On a daily basis, I measure and enumerate the bioburden of general bacteria, coliforms, and yeasts/molds, identify pathogens via PCR, and measure probiotics via flow cytometry, following stringent AOAC and USP guidelines.
• Throughout all of the numerous methods and tests, I meticulously document which media lots were used in each test performed in the lab, ensuring complete traceability in the LIMS.
• Helped develop the suite of suitability testing used on new products.

Created a standardized Master Manufacturing Record (MMR) that:

• Automatically records the weight of every ingredient needed for each blend, and recalculates that weight depending on the requested order amount.
• Details the operating and cleaning procedures necessary to ensure that products are created safely and efficiently.
• Consolidates four different documents into one, reducing communication errors, and ensuring proper quality checks are performed regularly.

Assisted in product formulation, including dosage calculations, prototyping, and blending of nanoparticles.

Updated and standardized production cleaning procedures.

Performed root cause and gap analysis, identifying where loss occured during the production process.

• Wrote and compiled CoAs for all products, coordinating with more than 10 other laboratories to ensure the timely release and shipment of products.
• Oversaw the day-to-day operation of the Quality Lab, performing testing on raw materials and finished products to ensure the safety of our customers.
• Coordinated the work of the other members of the lab staff.
• Created a comprehensive lab inventory to ensure that the testing materials were stocked, and that the lab equipment was regularly calibrated.
• Pinpointed which ingredient and lot kept a specific product from dissolving, demonstrated the effect of the finer particle size, and wrote a detailed investigation report that was used in a meeting of the board.
• -Reviewed and update lab SOPs.

• Worked with patients of all ages, examining their general eye health and prescription measurements.
• Managed call queues, schedule patients, assist in ordering contacts, locate insurance information, and perform optometric tests.s
• Performed visual exams on patients as young as 2 and older than 100, working with patients with disabilities, and even performing exams in Spanish

• As a machine operator I ensured the proper function of two softgel encapsulation machines by a critical attention to detail
• I calibrated and assembled the machines, recorded batch information precisely, and performed in-process adjustments to ensure a quality product

• I was a TA for a microbiology course focusing on infection and immunity
• I graded assignments three times a week, and managed student emails for a class of 120
• Through my time there I streamlined the grading process from taking 4 hour per assignment to 1.5 hours, saving the department money while maintaining academic rigor

• As a train conductor, I was directly responsible for the safety of over 300 guests at a time
• I maintained a detailed knowledge of the park history, amenities, and locations to answer any questions guests have
• During the trip around the mountain, I maintained radio contact with both the engineers and the park management to ensure the train's position was accurately recorded and the proper gates were closed
