What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining lab research or teaching with operational impact—supportive team culture, clear mentorship, opportunities for research growth and cross-functional responsibility.

I am a dual-degree graduate in Biology (B.S.) and History (B.A.) with hands-on laboratory experience and international independent research in environmental history and biomedical ethics. I combine wet-lab skills—DNA extraction, PCR, spectroscopy—with computational proficiency in Microsoft Office, Google Suite, and industry software.

My research spans Morocco, Germany, and Poland, focusing on environmental history, green energy initiatives, Argan oil historiography, Holocaust history, and the development of biomedical ethics. I have supported teaching as a laboratory assistant and supplemental instructor, translating academic research into classroom and practical learning experiences.

I bring operational and managerial experience from retail, store management, packaging/fulfillment, and finance/accounts roles—handling inventory, compliance, invoicing, and vendor relations. I am adaptable, detail-oriented, and effective in teamwork, communication, and project support, seeking roles that leverage both my scientific training and operational strengths.
