LAB EXPERIENCEInstructor guided research

Conducted a study of the effects the Pbs-3 gene had on the organism C. elegans when removed by way of RNAi. The phenotypes, if any, were documented and compared to wild type C. elegans.- Colonies of C. elegans were grown weekly on agar plates to use for class which we classified as

NGM (Nematode Growth Media) plates.- Essentially a plasmid with the Pbs-3 gene inhibitor vector inserted into it was introduced to a culture

plate where C. elegans were grown. They ingested this inhibitor blocking the expression of Pbs-3 and producing specific phenotypes.

Microscopy Studied advanced microscopy techniques ranging from Compound Light Microscopes to Transition Electron

Microscopy (TEM).- Worked with the Ultramicrotome to prepare thin sections for TEM.- Studied various imaging techniques such as Fluorescence, Koehler Illumination, and Digital

microscopy.

WORK EXPERIENCEUniversity of Rochester Medical Center May 2014-Present

- Help Desk Analyst; Tier1/2 Technical Support- Provided remote assistance to thousands of Medical Center users- Assisted in technical and procedural training of new hires- Provided support for EPIC eRecord EMR system

Projects:

MayCurrently working with a small team to upgrade our Call Logging database system, HEAT. We are in charge of creating, executing and documenting a process for this upgrade. This is

all being done whilst managing the current database and business rules that go along with it. Boolean logic and basic SQL is used to query results and provide desired output.
