I recently received my Doctoral Degree in Analytical Chemistry from the University at Albany SUNY. I have a focus in analytical chemistry and I am looking to obtain a position as a Trace Evidence Analyst or a Forensic Chemist with a focus in analysis of controlled substances. For my Thesis research I am preforming a variety of analyses including FTIR and Raman Spectroscopy, UV/Vis Microspectrophotometery, and Polarized Light Microscopy. At the University of New Haven I also utilized instrumentation such as the XRD, GC-MS, and the GC-FID. At the University of Central Florida I was the President of the Forensic Science Association and worked with fellow club members to promote interest in forensic science by doing outreach events and club activities. Overall, I have a passion for forensic science both within the lab as well as promoting the growth of students interested in science.
SupreMEtric LLC is developing the first universal, patented method for non-destructive, confirmatory identification of all main bodily fluids in biological evidence revealed at crime scenes for law enforcement and crime lab personnel.
The project I assisted on was the identification of textile fibers after the exposure to cigarette smoke, this process was done by analyzing the fibers with an Excitation-Emission Machine and examining the luminescence data before and after exposure.
