Research in practice
Research & development
Research AssistantStayton Lab · University of Washington
Drug delivery & biomaterials
Developed and iterated eight-point standard curves and four QC levels for quantitative drug-delivery assays. Optimized dilution schemes and sample volumes, analyzed assay performance, and redesigned protocols to improve data quality. Partnered with graduate researchers to troubleshoot workflows, evaluate results, and plan next-step experiments.
Biomedical Engineering InternBioSyft
Biomedical software
Troubleshot bugs in biomedical data workflows and used AI-assisted coding tools to develop and integrate software improvements. Worked with an engineering team to test fixes, document issues, and iterate on research and data-analysis features, using GitHub for version control and collaboration.

Research
Listen. Compare. Iterate.
Designed surveys testing four product/UI variants and translated qualitative feedback into design iterations. Analyzed 10+ productivity and education platforms to identify patterns in onboarding, gamification, premium conversion, and retention.
Growth
A plan for growth.
Quickly learned marketing and growth while creating around 30 videos for Wick. Developed scripting, short-form storytelling, editing, and audience research skills alongside a 13-week back-to-school content plan.
