LABORATORY TECHNICIAN
11/93 -present. Study of the invasion mechanisms of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), a periodontal pathogen, and its effects on the host epithelial cell. Molecular biological techniques, along with fluorescence and light microscopy, are used to analyze the invasion process. As lab coordinator, my skills extend to supervising student interns, budget management, supplies ordering, computer and equipment maintenance and general management of the physical laboratory. Principle investigator: Dr. Paula Fives-Taylor.
10/91 -11/93. Quality assurance testing of infant formula during production. Performed chemical and microbiological assays to determine nutritional content or contamination in this food product using various standard laboratory techniques
WELLNESS PROGRAM DIRECTOR
1/90 -present. Management of the Wellness residence hall on campus. Developed a program to help enable residential students plan and implement their own growth and development goals as they take their place in this world. This includes facilitating and scheduling programs of their choosing, giving back to the community through service and having good clean fun. I train a team of student leaders to help new students in the development of their goals. This is a live-in position.
LICENCED PRACTICAL NURSE
Performed duties of a clinical nurse in a pediatric office. As such, I made initial assessments of well infants' and childrens' growth, and motor, speech and social development. Obtained lab specimens such as blood, urine, and throat cultures. Evaluated degree of illness or emergency and established treatment plans with parents over the phone and in the office. Assisted physician in treatments or exams. Counseled and taught health and nutrition practices.
