Education:
Bachelor of Science- Environmental Chemistry 2014 Pacific University Forest Grove, OR

Research Interest/Focus:
My research interest includes method development for the analysis of phthalates in multiple passive sampling matrices that we currently use. I assist the FSES group by conducting analyses of chemical classes on passive samplers. Some of these classes include but are not limited to PAHs, pesticides, flame retardants and VOCs.
Experience:
- August 2019-current: Faculty Research Assistant, Department of environmental and molecular toxicology, Corvallis, OR
- May 2017-August 2019-Laboratory Technician I. City of Salem, Keizer, OR
- October 2014-April 2017: Volatiles analyst, Apex Laboratories LLC, Tigard, OR
- May 2014-October 2014-Quality Control Technician, Oligos Etc., Wilsonville, OR
- 2010-2014: Work study Program Assistant, Chemistry Department, Pacific University, Forest Grove, OR
