Education

May 2016

Murray State University - Murray, KYThesis work in Microbiology on isolating and identifying the nitrogen fixing gene(s) of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and characterized bacterial communities in lake sediment.

December 2010

Agriculture Science Pre-Veterinary Medicine ChemistryMurray State University - Murray, KY

Completed in-depth studies in laboratory procedures pertaining to Necropsy, Microbiology, Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Toxicology and Parasitology in accordance to AVMA board requirements. Worked in clinical and lab settings while gaining hands on experience with patient restraint, radiology, nursing, microbial isolation and identification.

Thesis/Dissertation

The Cloning and Expression of the Gene for a Novel Nitrogenase from Agrobacterium sp. CRR14. In my thesis a novel hypothetical nitrogenase was isolated, amplified, and used to transform competent E. coli cells. My work demonstrated use of cell culturing techniques, chromosome and plasmid isolation, amplification, digestion, and cell transformation through means of vectors.
