Profile Summary

I am an experienced research scientist with a demonstrated history of working across multiple biomedical fields, with an emphasis in animal models and genetics. I have strong research and presentation experience with a focus on translational models of disease, and a vested interest in transforming research data into real world solutions. As a business student, I am excited to bring my critical thinking and problem solving skills into project management and consulting, and am open to exploring new opportunities in these fields. SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH SKILLS: I have a broad background spanning multiple biomedical fields, with a focus on the immunological aspects of each topic. I have strong mouse model skills, including knock-in design and implementation (CRISPR/Cas9), and experimental design and implementation using various immunoassays (ELISA, Western, IHC/IF, flow cytometry). COMMUNICATION SKILLS: As a published scientist, I have strong and effective writing skills, and am well versed in literature review and analysis as well as grant writing. BUSINESS SKILLS: As a current MBA student, I am translating my scientific learning into the world of business, where I believe my critical thinking and analytic skills will be a solid base for project management and consulting.
