PROFILE
Cellular and Molecular Biology Expert
Analytical research scientist with experience in collecting and analyzing data, writing scientific reports and overall maintaining safe and productive lab working environments.
Background includes research in enzymes working towards understanding soil composition by participating in research alongside a lab as part of a CSL program, have experience with fluorescent proteins and mutating them in order to change their fluorescent properties, also have experience in growing and culturing muscle cells in order to study their growing patterns and find ways in improving current growth methods in culture.
Special interest in bacterial and eukaryotic cell culturing and improving their culturing methods or working towards understanding how to expand what can be cultured. With a hope in understanding and bettering these techniques in order to work towards bioremediation.

WORK EXPERIENCE
Save On Food [General Clerk]
[2019 - Present]
Mount Royal University, Calgary, AB
Science Student, Cellular and Molecular Biology Mayor,
[2016 – 2020]
In this program I gained the skills allowing me to study biological system from the biomolecular, cellular and systematic perspectives. This gave me skills in
Experience Highlights:
Understand Scientific thought and scientific method.
Critically evaluate and assess scientific studies.
Gained a variety of cell culturing techniques from C2C12 murine muscle cells to a variety of microorganism varying from BCL level 1 and 2.
Worked on a team in lab that was able to grow muscle cells in a parallel fashion in culture using laser etched glass dishes and studied the effects of this new procedure.
Collect, interpret, evaluate data observations.
Can collect, interpret and statistically evaluate data.
Read, understand and present information in a variety of formats such as in scientific posters, presentations and manuscripts.
SOFT SKILLS
Effective communication skills, from working and communicating in a team to public speaking.
Adaptable and flexible.
Leadership and integrity, allowing for independence when needed but also not afraid to ask questions
Very good work ethic, willing to get everything done when needed.
