PRESENTATIONS
Our Lady of the Lake College Research Presentation to Faculty
Baton Rouge, LA
Demethylation of the SOCS1 and SOCS3 Proteins
Poster presentation, based on an independent research project completed for
BIOL 4910 - Research Problems in Biology/Medicine. The presentation
encompassed an overview of the methodology implemented and executed in
order to investigate the relationship between SOCS proteins and cytokine activity.
The presentation included a description of the structural characteristics of SOCS
proteins, their inhibitory capacity regarding the inactivation of cytokines,
particularly inflammatory cytokines, and the potential outcomes of cytokine
upregulation in the event that the SOCS proteins experience a loss of functionality
as a result of various chemical processes, such as demethylation. Some of the
laboratory techniques utilized to perform the research involved in this experiment
include, but are not limited to, proper laboratory safety, cell cultivation, cell
passaging, cell detachment, and western blotting.

An Analysis of Learning and Teaching Evolution: The Challenges
of Diffusing Misconceptions Regarding Evolution

ABOUT ME

2016

2016

Oral presentation describing a service learning project required for completion of

General Biology II. The presentation discussed the challenges associated with
learning about Evolution as well as the challenges that arise while teaching
Evolution. To provide examples of the various teaching resources used throughout
this particular service learning project, a PowerPoint was referenced throughout
the presentation. The PowerPoint consisted of the activities, images, and models
that my classmates and I utilized in our attempt to dissolve any misconceptions
about Evolution while performing the service learning project at Belaire High
School.

Born and raised in Gonzales, LA, I am the

second oldest child of Rebecca
Washington and Charles Bennett. I have
five siblings, one sister and four brothers:
Chaney, Kane, Kyle, Darrell, and Cody,
respectively. My strongest personal
qualities are my belief and faith in God
through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I
strive daily to embody characteristics
that reflect my love for God and my
intent to love those around me. My postgraduate plans include attending
graduate school to obtain a Masters of
Science in Physician Assistant Studies.
Once I have completed graduate
school, I would like to practice here in
Louisiana and continue to indulge in
research related to Pediatric HIV/AIDS
and infectious disease. I am also
interested in designing my own line of
fashion dolls and writing childrens
books.

Lip Color Products are Potential Reservoirs for Pathogenic Bacteria

2016

Poster presentation based on the results obtained from a faculty assisted research
experiment required for completion of BIOL 4415 Pathogenic Microbiology. The
experiment investigated the capacity for lip color products to harbor harmful
bacteria and the products potential to ultimately cause nosocomial infections in
the event that they are used in a hospital setting. The experiment involved the use
of the following laboratory techniques and methods: cell cultivation, isolation of
cultures via the use of selective/differential media and biochemical tests, and
quantification of samples by performing serial dilutions.
