Work History
Research Technician
Virginia Military Institute
Lexington , VA
2024.06 - Current
- Primary responsibilities include mentoring cadets in the Biology undergraduate research program, research support for the faculty, purchasing equipment and supplies for the department.
Molecular Biology Research Assistant I
The Jackson Laboratory
Bar Harbor , ME
2007.01 - 2010.04
- Recruited to revitalize the Molecular Biology Service, worked independently from 5/2007 to 9/2007.
- Responsibilities included maintenance of daily lab records, itemized billing for services, purchasing supplies, radiation safety, customer relations, and daily communication with the Cell Biology Department.
Research Assistant II
Gridley Lab, The Jackson Laboratory
Bar Harbor , ME
2000.05 - 2007.01
- Consecutive posts with increasing responsibilities and levels of independence in the laboratory of Thomas H. Gridley, Ph.D.
- Our laboratory studied genes important for embryonic development in mice, and the relation between mutations in these genes and both congenital and acquired human disease. Our analyses focused on the Notch pathway, an evolutionarily conserved cell communication and signaling system.
