Chemical Engineering graduate and proud participant of the FUEL Emerging Talent Rotational Program at Amgen. Passionate about leadership development, science, innovation, and process improvement. Excited to grow, learn, and contribute to meaningful work in the biopharmaceutical industry.
Worked within the Facilities & Engineering (F&E) Engineering Systems team as part of Amgen’s FUEL Emerging Talent Rotational Program, supporting utilities performance monitoring and operational optimization initiatives across manufacturing facilities. Developed 21 PI Vision dashboards to monitor and trend key performance indicators (KPIs) at the building, system, and equipment levels for critical utilities including HVAC systems, process chillers, cooling towers, compressors, and boilers. Supported data analysis efforts to improve visibility into equipment performance and enable data-driven operational decisions. Supported product-contact 40+ equipment decommissioning activities within a former Oral Solid Dosage (OSD) manufacturing building whose operations were fully shut down. Contributed to ongoing efforts to prepare the facility for the relocation and modernization of Packaging and Inspection operations during Phase 1 of the building transformation initiative.
Bacterial Cellulose (BC) was synthesized using economically viable materials, such as sargassum. The production process for Bacterial Nanocellulose (BNC) textiles was meticulously refined by employing various techniques such as vacuum filtration and in-situ methods, ultimately leading to optimized production conditions. The resulting BNC films were subjected to thorough characterization using techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). To further understand their properties, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic nature of the BNC films was evaluated through contact angle measurements. Beyond characterization, the versatility of BNC textiles was demonstrated by designing and crafting microscale clothing pieces for dolls, showcasing the potential practical applications of these innovative materials.
