Programmer || Aspiring Software Developer || Biotechnology Research Assistant || Veterinary Assistant || Cross-Disciplinary Professional

Experienced Research Assistant with a Multi-Disciplinary Background in Biotechnology and Computer Programming With over 4 years of hands-on experience in the biotechnology and nanotechnology sectors, I’ve developed a robust skill set in areas including veterinary medicine, analytical and organic chemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, and environmental sciences. My background includes a wide range of biotechnological techniques and methods such as tissue culture, plant biotechnology, immunology, genetics, protein science, and good laboratory practice (GLP). During my time at Spectra Plasmonics, I’ve contributed to projects involving hazardous chemicals, scientific testing, data management, software testing, and technical writing, all while ensuring the highest standards of safety and compliance. I’ve taken on significant responsibilities, including drafting and revising key laboratory documents, such as safety manuals, SOPs, and incident reporting, as well as daily research projects. In addition to my biotechnology work, I am currently pursuing a Computer Programming and Analysis diploma at St. Lawrence College. My courses cover a wide range of programming languages and methodologies, including C++, Java, web programming, database design, game development, mobile applications, and cloud computing. This diverse academic background enhances my ability to contribute to both scientific and technical projects with a unique perspective that bridges biology and computing. Previously, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant, where I developed a strong foundation in customer service and animal care, gaining experience in high-stress environments and emergency care. This role fostered my attention to detail and ability to manage complex, fast-paced tasks with professionalism and empathy. I am passionate about using my combined expertise in biotechnology and programming to tackle interdisciplinary challenges, and I am eager to connect with professionals and organizations working at the intersection of science and technology.
