Sewickley, Pennsylvania, United States
Hi, I’m Lillian, a recent M.S. graduate in Environmental Science with three years of hands-on experience in aquatic toxicology, environmental risk assessment, and EPA-compliant toxicity testing. I’ve led federally funded research, analyzed complex environmental data using tools like R and CETIS, and worked closely with multidisciplinary teams to inform science-based decision-making. I’m passionate about protecting ecosystems and public health, and I’m excited to build a long-term career in environmental stewardship, one where I can apply my scientific training to support sustainable, regulatory-compliant solutions in a changing world. If your team is looking for a dedicated early-career scientist eager to grow and contribute long-term, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect. I’m actively seeking roles where I can apply my skills in service of meaningful, lasting environmental impact.
Conduct research experiments for the rodenticide lethality and sub lethality studies Assist PIs and post-doctorates with day to day responsibilities for other projects Present research at regional and national conferences Support salmon rearing team to maintain healthy conditions for test subjects
Conducted both chronic and acute WET testing on vertebrates (Pimephales promelas) and invertebrates (Ceriodaphnia dubia) in accordance with EPA guidelines Used CETIS to generate endpoints from test data (LC50, EC50, IC25, NOEC, LOEC) Performed Microtox testing with Allivibrio fischeri Kept an organized lab environment and directed lab activities Maintained fish cultures and Ceriodaphnia cultures daily Measured pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, and hardness of water samples
Conducted research involving water sample filtration, eDNA extraction, PCR, and gel electrophoresis Worked in the field to collect environmental samples Collaborated with fellow student researchers Attended journal discussions with peers and mentor
