Career Interests and Research Experience
Career Goals
Currently aiming for a PhD in a field of bio-medical research, possibly in oncology or genetics
Research Interests
Interested in the application of mathematics to aid in the understanding of biological processes, and the application of genetics in subjects such as human health and oncology
Research experience
Predator and Prey Availability: A study of the Impact of Prey Accessibility and Watershed Conditions on the Growth Rates of Subyearling Chinook Salmon in the Salish Sea
- Mentor- Dr. David Beauchamp, PhD., University of Washington School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences
- Presentations/Publications: Presented at the ACE Undergraduate Research Symposium on November 20, 2015. Presented at the LMU Undergraduate Research Symposium and Honors Undergraduate Research Symposium on __
Work Experience
Ongoing Work Experience
Lab Assistant at the Loyola Marymount University College of Science and Engineering Instrument Tech Lab September 2015 – Present
- Organize laboratory and equipment in laboratory such as ICPMS, GCMS, AFM and NMR.
- Prepare experiments and samples for further analysis by the biochemistry and environmental science departments
- Repair computers, including removing hard drives and installing new software.
Previous Work Experience
Pre-clinical Research Summer Intern at Seattle Genetics May 2016 – August 2016
- Performed experiments to validate targets for anti-body drug conjugates in melanoma and glioblastoma cancers.
- Used Spotfire and large data sets to identify potential targets for anti-body therapies.
- Used cell culture techniques, flow cytometry, quantitative flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and cytotox assays to validate potential targets.
Summer Intern at the University of Washington School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences May 2015 – August 2015
- Worked as a research assistant and intern in the Beuachamp Lab of The University of Washington’s School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences as a part of the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project.
- Conducted research on projected growth rates of juvenile Chinook salmon related to their survival rates in the Salish Sea based off of their diet composition and scale size.
- Performed a variety of lab tasks including dissection and analysis of diet samples, dissection of sub-yearling Chinook salmon, handling of research equipment, participation in fieldwork in Lake Washington and Puget Sound, and use of excel and R to conduct data analyses.
- Preliminary analyses show different watersheds have different prey availabilities and thus different potentials and trajectories for growth. Analyses also show hatchery raised and wild Chinook may have significant differences in diets initially in the offshore life stage
Summer Intern at Brightwater Environment Education and Community Center July 1, 2013- August 30, 2013
- Worked as a high school intern for the environmental education center at the Brightwater wastewater treatment plant, part of Washington State’s King County Wastewater Treatment Division
- Performed a variety of tasks including, but not limited to: reformatting of educational materials, creating educational displays, helping at open house events, creating brochures for the center, observing and helping in summer camps and building trails.
