Work Experience
A brief selection of my work history

My current position is Research and Development Scientist, where I work on finding alternatives for petroleum-based plastics and materials commonly used in museum exhibits. Some of these include chitosan, mycelium, and even 3D-printing.

During my time as a Research Associate, I worked on several different projects, including kombucha and cancer. The overall theme of these diverse areas was understanding how cooperation and conflict can grow and break down over time.
