Experience
06/2014 to CurrentResearch & Development ChemistRti International | Saint Paul, MN,
Utilized chemical compounds & chemical processes to create a new product and technology.
Employed chromatography, ELISA, and urinalysis techniques.
Conducted both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Developed and validated methods that assess patients' biochemical and physiological health.
Under minimal supervision, applied statistical analysis to data to make assertive decisions, adjustments, and recommend experimental designs for the next steps.
Wrote procedural documents and SOP's (Standard Operation Procedure) for the newly developed methods.
Provided clear, accurate, and concise verbal and written communication with team members and supervisors.
11/2013 to 01/2014Chemical Lab Technician IINutrilite | City, STATE,
Utilized chromatography, spectroscopy and spectrophotometry techniques.
Coordinated all phases of product development, including formulation, experimentation and documentation.
Extracted niacin, niacinamide, and pyridoxine from vitamin and food products.
Drafted reports on all test and research results.
Reported Results in the Starlims Software.
2013 to 04/2013Research Assistant Augsburg College | City, STATE,
Studied the thermodynamics of the "water-lock" polymer: sodium polyacrylate (SPA) to utilize it for drug encapsulation.
Applied an equal-cube model to the Flory-Rehner-Peppas swelling model of cross-linked polymers to calculate cubic volumes of water contained between cross-linked linear polymer chains at the cube vertices.
Performed analytical procedures and method validation using self-built disposable osmometer, viscometer, FTIR, H-NMR, and wet chemistry to study the permeability of SPA, determine the ratio of water to polymer, and to determine the capacity of SPA to 'water-lock' in different water to polymer ratio solutions.

Dean's List Honor Roll (Semester GPA of 3.5 or Higher
4-(1-hydroxyethyl)-benzoic acid was formed in a two-step process involving reduction and oxidization.
The methyl group of the starting material (4-methylacetophenone) was oxidized to a carboxylic acid with the use of potassium permanganate.
The ketone group of the intermediate product (4-acetylbenzoic acid) was reduced to an alcohol with the use of sodium borohydride.
Produced a high yield of a decently pure product, finishing the research competition in fourth place.
