Detail-oriented Chemical Engineer with a passion for technical writing, specializing in data and research.
I’m a Chemical Engineer with experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing, scientific research, technical writing, and data analysis. I enjoy taking complex technical information and turning it into clear, organized, and practical solutions. My strongest areas include: - Technical and scientific writing, including procedures, SOPs, technical reports, and documentation. - Excel and spreadsheet development, including complex formulas and calculations, data organization, and process tools. - Data analysis and interpretation. - Scientific and engineering research, including literature review for scientific report writing preparation. - Process documentation and workflow improvement. - Technical editing and proofreading, including contributions to a peer-reviewed scientific paper. I’m especially interested in projects involving engineering, science, biotechnology, research, data, and technical content—but I also enjoy helping clients organize information, improve documents, and build practical spreadsheet solutions. I bring a detail-oriented, analytical approach to every project and prioritize clear communication, accuracy, and high-quality work.

Projects

Thermostable Enzyme Variants in the Lower Mevalonate Pathway Improve Isoprenoid Production by Cell-F

Contributed to peer-reviewed research investigating thermophilic enzymes from archaea for applications in the biological production of limonene. As a research assistant at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), I supported experimental design and execution, high-throughput enzyme screening, data collection and analysis, and interpretation of experimental results. This project strengthened my experience in biotechnology research, quantitative data analysis, experimental problem-solving, and scientific and technical communication through my contributions to preparing the manuscript, which was published in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.See More
