Welcome!

I am

• Plant biologist and molecular geneticist
• Crop breeding and field operations specialist
• Molecular biology and lab techniques trainer
• Data analyst (R, ArcGIS, SigmaPlot), with Power BI, SQL, and Python in day-to-day analytics work
• Continuous improvement advocate and mentor

Impact

• At Bayer Crop Science, led high-volume tissue sampling coordination across early breeding pipeline projects, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver on time.
• At Bayer Crop Science, increased workflow efficiency by ~15% by implementing a continuous cycling product design strategy.
• At Bayer Crop Science, optimised and documented SOPs for tissue sampling under a QMS framework, improving efficiency, reducing errors, and strengthening quality control.
• At Bayer Crop Science, presented early breeding operations and tissue sampling workflows to senior leadership and during site tours, supporting cross-functional alignment.
• At Bayer Crop Science, launched a peer-to-peer mentoring program, recruiting 15+ mentors and organising 30+ one-on-one sessions and workshops.
• At the University of Alberta, taught 120+ undergraduates in molecular biology techniques and supervised 15 teaching assistants in Molecular Genetics and Heredity.
• At the University of Alberta, completed Master's research on crop nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and spatial soil fertility in Central Alberta, comparing statistical and geostatistical models for precision agriculture.
• At the University of Alberta, presented research findings at scientific conferences and translated them into recommendations for nutrient management and sustainable agriculture.
• At the National Institute for Genomics and Advanced Biotechnology (NARC), provided molecular biology support for GMO laboratory research and led an independent maize transcription-factor project combining in-silico and molecular analyses.
