Work strengthened readiness for clinical and public health laboratory settings where accurate identifiers, controlled processing, and timely documentation affect testing decisions. Verified specimen identifiers and labeled tubes during supervised accession exercises, preserving traceability through preparation. Operated centrifuges , balances, water baths , mixers, and autoclaves after recording equipment condition checks. Prepared culture media , chemical reagents , and sterile solutions using protocol calculations and lot records. Stained microbial slides , reviewed microscopy quality, and repeated preparation when controls produced inconsistent results. Entered sample status and observations in electronic worksheets, then reconciled records against source information. Applied biosafety, chemical handling, hygiene, and waste segregation procedures during infectious material simulations. Clinical Specimen Workflow Project Capstone Project August 2025 - December 2025 Riverside, CA Created a supervised simulated hospital workflow covering varied specimen types, accession records, processing controls, electronic documentation, and testing handoff. The project connected classroom biology with practical laboratory operations and supported clear, complete review by faculty evaluators. Mapped receipt requirements for blood , urine, sputum, swab, and stool specimens in Excel. Built accession records with validation checks, identifying missing identifiers and collection details before analysis. Compared centrifugation, aliquoting, storage, and slide preparation steps across varied specimen requirements. Prepared culture media and staining materials under faculty protocols, recording sterile technique observations. Reviewed 60 simulated records against a checklist, confirming complete routing and documentation. Presented a process map covering receipt, preparation, electronic records , testing handoff, and safe disposal. Microbiology Laboratory Project Student Lab January 2025 - May 2025 Riverside, CA Completed supervised microbiology laboratory work involving teaching samples, aseptic transfers, culture media, incubation, staining, colony observation, electronic records , and safety procedures. Activities developed practical discipline for contamination control, result review, and traceable specimen documentation. Investigated bacterial growth using aseptic transfer, culture media , incubation, staining, and colony observation. Prepared sterile materials with balances , mixers , and an autoclave under written laboratory procedures. Recorded colony morphology and compared controlled plates with expected results to flag possible contamination. Prepared stained slides for microscopy, documenting source codes, stain sequence, observations, and repeats. Maintained Excel records for sample codes, culture conditions, observations, and final interpretations. Completed disinfection, infectious material, sharps awareness, and waste segregation exercises safely. PROJECTS Community Sample Safety Study May 2026 A faculty guided study connected everyday environmental samples with safe laboratory practice. Work focused on clear labeling, controlled handling, observation records, and thoughtful review of results, helping translate biology coursework into useful public health awareness. Microscopy Quality Review December 2025 A small classroom investigation examined how preparation quality shapes microscopy findings. Repeated staining, control review, and careful notes showed how patient, consistent bench work supports dependable laboratory decisions.
