Henkel

3D Printing Engineer

Engineering Project Manager (3D Printing)

- Organized and facilitated monthly AE ExCom meetings to ensure discussions focused on key strategic initiatives and decisions were taken to adapt to current market conditions and drive business growth and profitability. 
- Optimized and managed the global AE hiring process to ensure all hiring activities stayed within the KP 2019 plan, aligned with the go-to-market strategy, and were clearly communicated to the hiring managers, HRBPs, A Hiring, and AE ExCom.
- Oversaw AEA, AEI, AEK, and AES’s preparation for the 2019 Adhesives Portfolio Review by serving as the main POC to AX and ensuring all messaging was aligned at the SBU level. 
- Organized logistics and created content for Global Executive Management Meetings, AE Leadership Team Meetings, Quarterly Management Reviews, and town halls attended or hosted by the Henkel CEO, Global SBU Heads, and Regional Henkel Presidents.

Junior Strategy Manager

- Performed consumer electronic device teardowns and shared learnings with PD, TCS, Marketing, and Sales to confirm where Henkel adhesives are currently being used, identify applications to pursue in future designs, recognize design trends and new areas for Henkel to explore, and generate high quality graphics for customized customer meeting presentations.
- Designed the program for collecting, organizing, and uploading AE’s product information into the Product Information Management System, Henkel Adhesive’s digital platform for consolidating product information and graphics into one central source. 
- Revamped and streamlined the post-launch review process for the AE IPM group by updating the post-launch review project template, creating a process handbook, and training all stakeholders involved in the post-launch review process.

PRISM Program Associate

- Identified a direct correlation between softness perception and noise heard while using a diaper by designing experiments to measure noise levels throughout the customer journey and organizing consumer panel studies for feedback on softness perception. 
- Leveraged a material processing machine from a different product line and led laboratory, production, and consumer studies to determine the optimal material bond pattern and thickness this machine could process to generate softer diaper materials.

Kimberly-Clark

Materials Engineer Co-op

I designed, built, and tested filtration materials for a lateral flow assay cartridge used to separate plasma from blood samples and detect infectious pathogen proteins. I also developed analytical methods and quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed filtration through the system. Additionally, I isolated, amplified, and sequenced DNA aptamers for a new in-vitro diagnostic assay.

Ionica Sciences

Undergraduate Researcher

I completed a pre-clinical project with efforts towards developing a clinically relevant material with applications in future hip and knee implants for total joint arthroplasty with improved mechanical properties and wear resistance. I also modified processing conditions and measured the mechanical properties of polyethylene used in implants. Through this internship, I became familiar with using various mechanical testing equipment and drafted the standard lab protocol for Izod impact strength tests.

Massachusetts General Hospital

Research Assistant

I established the ability for cells to survive on an Arg-PEUU biomaterial for arterial applications. Through this research experience I became familiar with cell culture work and maintaining cell lines, as well as cytotoxicity assays and staining methods for determining cell viability. I worked specifically with bovine aortic endothelial cells and rattus norvegicus smooth muscle cells.
