May 2002 Physiology/Biophysics Physiology/Biophysics Biology University of Louisville University of Louisville Tennessee State University Summary Results-oriented technical professional with experience solving both technical and research problems in the field of cardiovascular physiology. Experience in organizing and managing research projects. Effective in presenting complex material to a diverse audience in a clear, concise and persuasive manner. Able to successfully function as an individual contributor or in a team environment. Work Experience Jan 2009-present Adjunct Professor Houston Community College-Stafford Campus General Biology and Lab Instructor Apr.2008-present Mouse Phenotyping Core Director Department of Molecular Physiology, Baylor College of Medicine Manage daily operation of the Phenotyping core. Aid in protocol design of principal investigators. Teach graduate students and postdocs how to use equipment and analyze data. Feb. 2007-Mar. 2008 Post-Doctoral Fellow with Xander Wehrens, M.D., Ph.D., Department of Molecular Physiology, Baylor College of Medicine Perform an array of small animal surgeries as well as echocardiography in the murine model. I also manage two major research projects that are going on in the lab at this time and mentor first year grad students during their rotation with the lab. June 2003-Dec. 2006 Graduate Student Research Assistant with Y.James Kang, Ph.D., Department of Physiology/Biophysics, University of Louisville Conducted cardiovascular toxicology research (mineral supplementation). Performed and taught small animal surgeries (i.e aortic constriction, cannulations, bile duct ligation, and adenoviral work.). Developed presentation skills for academic and non-academic audiences. Designed and developed experimental protocols. Mentored physiology summer students. Jan. 2004-May 2004 Teaching Assistant University of Louisville Medical School Served as a teacher’s assistant for the first year medical school Physiology course. Planned and lectured weekly study sessions for a class size of 25 students. Externships June 2002-Aug 2002 University of Louisville Cardiovascular Research Program Worked under the supervision of John Passmore Ph.D in the physiology department/microcirculation lab investigating the responsiveness of renal interlobar arteries. This study was designed to give more insight into renal pathlolgy in hypertensive rats. Research work involved isolation of renal interlobar arteries and mounting them onto mini-glass pipettes followed by dosage response with various vasoconstrictors. June 2001-Aug 2001 Summer Pre-Medical Enrichment Program The program included MCAT preparation courses at the University of Cincinnati where students attended enrichment courses reviewing the basic sciences. I took part in a preceptorship program, which allowed students to shadow physicians at the university hospital.
