Paid Work Experience Texas A&M University: Water Management and Hydrologic Science Program, College Station, TX

o Graduate Student, Thesis Work (9/2013 to 12/2014), $15000/project

I am investigating UV light as a photolyzing agent for various emergent contaminants in water and wastewater systems. Several lesser-known contaminants are being tested for primary contaminant breakdown, and several process factors are being examined to discover their effect on the process’s efficiency. The spectra of the products will be analyzed to determine the structure of the reaction products.

Texas A&M University: Soil Science Dept, College Station, TX

o Student Worker for GIS Project (3/2013 to 8/2013), 20 hr/wk, $10/hour

I convert tabulated data for soil parameters into ArcGIS shapefile format. I perform interpolation and spatial analysis on the various soil measurements to create continuous surfaces that provide approximations for soil characteristics across the entire state and within each MLRA of interest.

College Station Independent School District, Welsh Ave, College Station, TX 77840

o Substitute Teacher (4/2012 to 6/2013), <16 hr/wk, $60/day

I filled in for teachers (K-12) who could not be present in the classroom for the day.

University of New Hampshire, Chemistry Department, Parsons Hall, Durham, NH 03824

o Student Worker – Lab Setup (2/2010 to 12/2011), 16 hr/wk, $9/hour

I assisted in the setup and cleanup for college chemistry laboratory classes. Typical duties included washing dishes, making chemical solutions, gathering and setting up glassware and other equipment, performing mathematical computations to determine the concentration and amount of chemicals necessary, etc.

o Teaching Assistant (3/2011 to 12/2011) for CHEM 405 class, 12 hr/wk, $7000 total

Working under Dr. Sam Paczini and lab coordinator Amy Lindsay, I reinforced the lecture material for a group of 25 students via recitation, homework help, exam prep, basic tutoring, grading exams and reports, and administering a lab class.

Continental Microwave and Tool Company, 11 Continental Dr., Exeter, NH 03833

o Production Technician (7/2008 to 1/2010), 40 hr/wk, $15/hour

I was responsible for night shift operations in the iridite department, and assisted other areas as needed. Typical duties included chemical etching, cleaning, and conversion coating of aluminum and copper parts for microwave antennas and associated hardware by hand-dipping in chemical vats. I was also cross-trained in a number of other job functions including hydra-hone, resin impregnation, pressure testing, masking, unmasking, and manual assembly/disassembly.

Regal Sleeving and Tubing, 55 Main St., Newmarket, NH (factory closed in 2008)

o Sleeving Production Operator (4/2007 to 7/2008), 40-60 hr/wk, $12/hour

I was responsible for the operation of 8 to 20 sets of production machines (including pre-heaters, ball & die setups, chemical extruders, drying ovens, pulleys, and spoolers) each running a different product. Periodic visual, micrometer, and dielectric breakdown testing of sleeving products to ensure conformance to specifications; set-up, operation, break-down, clean-up, and minor maintenance of production machines.
