I possess varying levels of in-vitro and in-vivo hands-on experience at (A)BSL-2 and (A)BSL-3 handling a wide variety of infectious viruses as they pertain to humans, including pathogenic human respiratory viruses and some vector-borne viruses, among others. I am a graduate of James Madison University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, with a strong interest in biodefense/biosecurity & CBRNe/WMD, virology, infectious diseases, immunology, molecular biology, microbiology, etc. Directed interests and career goals include scientific research in the aforementioned fields of study. I am self-motivated, consistently striving to learn more, and experienced in laboratory settings, research environments, medical venues, and more. I'm skilled in practicing and modifying scientific and analytical procedures, light microscopy, animal in-vivo procedures, mammalian cell culture, safety protocols such as biocontainment, and speaking and dealing professionally with colleagues, professors, coworkers, etc.
