## About

```text
At Celltheon Corporation, I generated and reviewed experimental datasets for mammalian cell culture, cell line development, and bioprocess optimization. I monitored growth, productivity, stability, and process performance metrics to support technical decisions.

As a Doctoral Researcher in Bioprocess Development at Keck Graduate Institute, I analyzed laboratory and bioreactor data to compare process performance and identify trends. I tracked cell growth, viability, viral vector yield, and process recovery across experiments.

On the Gene Therapy Manufacturing Process Optimization project, I compared AAV manufacturing outcomes across small-scale and 2L bioreactor conditions. I evaluated viral genome titers, capsid yields, cell viability, and purification recovery to summarize process tradeoffs.

At Universidad de Las Américas, I teach biotechnology and metabolic engineering, develop assessments, and evaluate student work using structured criteria. I hold a PhD in Applied Life Sciences and a Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate, and I’m seeking an entry-level data analyst role where I can grow my SQL and business intelligence skills.
