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.
