Profile Summary

I have provided technical expertise and support for over 16 years in the areas of molecular biology, genetics, and neuroscience. As a scientist, I routinely perform comprehensive literature analysis. I have expertise in collecting, organizing, and interpreting data. Also, I create figures for conference talks, posters, slide decks, reports, and other science documents. I have written, edited, and reviewed journal articles for publication, abstracts, protocols, and grants as well as animal use protocols and standard operating procedures using layperson terms. I am one of the founding writers of a non-traditional science careers blog sponsored by Rutgers University. I am a creative professional with excellent teamwork and leadership skills, demonstrated by my continuous participation in organizing careers science symposiums and workshops at Rutgers University. Working as a scientist, I have design and managed several projects to completion within a deadline and budget.
