Description
Summary Data Analysis * Professional Consulting * Financial Mathematics Scientist/Engineer with more than five years of analytics and reporting experience. Consulting experience led to the establishment of a Washington State licensed analytical laboratory. Outstanding ability to distill complex data and concepts for technical and non-technical audiences. Keen interest in applying advanced mathematics to help answer questions of economic and financial interest. Career Highlights Experience Scientific Consultant, Spokane WA, May 2014-October 2014 Directed the establishment of one of the first laboratories built in response to the passage of Washington State Initiative 502. Developed and verified chemical and microbiological testing protocols, successfully coordinated with vendors and state regulators resulting in a lab that is currently state licensed and fully operational. Lecturer, Gonzaga University, 2011 - May 2014 Introduced electronic response and cloud polling technology to the chemistry classroom. Developed original content for Chemistry in Context and Environmental Chemistry, chemistry courses and labs for non-majors. Led an independent study with a senior biology student covering topics related to applied environmental chemistry. Research and Teaching Assistant, Montana State University, 2005 - 2010 Became the first to establish a molecular basis for uranium toxicity using a combination of computational, microbiological, and chemical methods. Performed and published pioneering work in microbiological "Big Data" using clone libraries and Phylochip analysis. Used statistical analysis techniques to develop and validate phylogenetic trees and metal toxicity models for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Taught engineering and microbiology courses. New Policy Issuer, Western United Life Assurance, 2002 At Western United, I facilitated fund transfers to Western United and aided in the issuance of new policies.
