Experience

Senior Research Associate (Bioinformatics and Evolution) — Pivot Bio - Berkeley, CA
Designed and validated laboratory experiment/inventory management and data analysis/visualization tools, (Benchling templates, Databricks dashboards) for sequencing and qPCR core functions. Managed core projects during product launch, while assisting in relocation/build out of new laboratory facility.
Research Associate II (Seqomics) — Pivot Bio - Berkeley, CA
Assisted in developing high throughput qPCR and sequencing assays for product development and performance quality testing.
Research Associate I (Strain Analytics) — Pivot Bio - Berkeley, CA
Executed core pipeline functions while building out capabilities through both physical and computational automation.
Undergraduate Research Associate — UW Platteville - Platteville, WI
Performed research studying the molecular mechanisms of the plant-microbe common signaling pathway through gene expression analysis and both traditional forward and reverse genetic approaches.
Pilot Plant Technician — Standard Process - Palmyra, WI
Designed and implemented project analyzing plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) across diverse organic cropping systems. Used 16s rRNA metagenomic data to identify functionally diverse microbes for isolation and farm-specific organic fertilizer development.
