RELATED EXPERIENCE
Internship at the USDA-ARS as a Biological Science Lab Technician, Wyndmoor, PA May 2014 to August 2014
 Worked 40 hour work weeks in a microbiology lab under Dr. John Renye
 Performed research on the antimicrobial activity of Streptococcus thermophilus via secretion of bacteriocins. Implications
from this project included using the bacteriocin expression as a natural bio preservative against spoilage bacteria and
foodborne pathogens.
 Worked on isolating the specific gene responsible for allowing the bacteriocin expression by using techniques such as
enzyme restrictions on plasmids, PCR, DNA sequencing and plasmid transformation between bacterial cells.
 Work from this summer is expected to be published fall of 2015. I am expecting to be acknowledged in the paper.
Intern in the Department of Radiology, Cooper University Hospital, Camden, NJ. May 2013 to August 2013
 Evaluated employee relationships while taking part in social experiments to determine areas of work-place improvement.
 Aided in X-ray, Cat Scan, MRI, Interventional Radiology, and OR procedures involving Radiology.
 Experienced neonatal intensive care involving X-rays along with a Level 1Trauma Unit as well.
 Shadowed and learned from numerous Radiologists, Radiologic Related Technicians, Interventional Radiologists, Trauma
Physicians, OR physicians,Transportation units,ER Physicians, and Administrative Positions Including the Director of
Radiology and Nuclear Medicine along with the Chairman and Chief of The Department of Diagnostic Radiology.
 Had daily interactions with countless patients,allowing me to fully appreciate the value and importance of patient care.
RESEARCH
Developing Operational Parameters for a House-hold Slow Sand Water Filter Research Project. Saint Joseph's
University, October 2012 to June 2015 (Co-leader of project)
 Pursuing a goal of providing a cheap reliable systemto purify water and determine the operational parameters of the filter
by testing its reliability and a viable schedule for proper use of the system.
 This involves in testing the filtered water results provided by our systems (levels of contamination).
 The filtration systemcreated is currently being used in various parts of Africa, allowing citizens to more easily attain a
clean drinking supply.
 This project can also aid in slowly improving the economic status ofcommunities in Africa by limiting the amount of time
it takes for people to attain drinkable water, and use that time to being perusing education.

2.  Presented a poster of this project at the Pennsylvania State University at Berks campus for an American Society
for Microbiology regional convention and Saint Joseph’s University Sigma Xi Symposium.
Constructing a Database of Patients that underwent Gama Knife Procedure, Cooper University Hospital, Department
of Radiation Oncology, performing this Research under Dr. Greg Kubicek, September 2013-June 2014
 Constructing an Excel Datasheet of patients that had brain cancers and were treated with Gama Knife Procedure.
 Patient files were analyzed for all relevant Data, including cancer type, patient history,radiation expos ure, lesion(s) sizes,
MRI data,etc.
 Information gathered is going to be used to help find trends in brain lesion reactivity to Gama Knife.
