My thesis proposes a model for RNA Helicase A function in endogenous \emph{C. elega ns} RNAi pathways. My baccalaureate exam was administered by a committee of facu lty and consisted of a thesis defense followed by a comprehensive oral exam cove ring all courses I took at New College.\\ \ressubheading{Tutorials}{Sarasota, FL}{New College of Florida}{Aug. 2007 May 2011} I created classes using New College's tutorial system, in which students are able to design courses in collaboration with faculty. Highlights: ``Wikipedia: Community, Technology, Society", ``Quantitative RT-PCR", ``Arduino Programming", ``Invasive Species", and ``Organic Synthesis".\\ \ressubheading{Genomics Outreach for Minorities Project (NSF-REU)}{Seattle, WA}{University of Washington}{May 2010 - Aug. 2010} A 12-week project conducted in Dr.\ Leo Pallanck's lab. I established a meth

od to grow, stain, and image primary dopaminergic neural culture from \textit{Dr osophila} embryos. I tested a hypothesis that Parkin and PINK1, proteins involve d in Parkinson's disease, are recruited to depolarized mitochondria in dopaminer gic neurons.\\ \ressubheading{Summer Undergraduate Research Program (NSF-REU)}{Pittsburgh, PA}{Carnegie Mellon University}{May 2009 - Aug. 2009} A 10-week project conducted in Dr.\ Brooke McCartney's lab. I determined tha t APC2, a protein with probable roles in colon cancer tumorogenesis, did not int eract with $\beta$-catenin of the Wnt destruction complex. I determined that a c onserved APC2 N-terminal domain was not essential for its proper localization.\\ \ressubheading{Independent Study Project}{Sarasota, FL}{New College of Flori da}{Jan. 2009} A 4-week project conducted under the direction of Dr.\ Necmettin Yildirim. U sing MATLAB, we modelled biological and chemical systems, particularly oscillati ng kinetic systems such as the Brusselator.\\ % I presented my work in a seminar entitled, ``Modelling the Dynamics of Life".\\ \ressubheading{Organic Lab Research Tutorial}{Sarasota, FL}{New College of F lorida}{Sep. 2008 - Nov. 2009} A continuation of New College graduate Dan Kaplan's thesis research conducte d in Dr.\ Paul Scudder's lab. I partially synthesized precursors to a novel high -valent iron-stabilizing macrocycle based on the active site of cytochrome P450. \\% My work was summarized in a paper entitled, ``Towards Synthesis of a Cytochr ome P450 Mimic".\\ \ressubheading{Independent Study Project}{Sarasota, FL}{New College of Flori da}{Jan. 2008} A 4-week project under the sponsorship of Dr.\ Elzie McCord. I reviewed chro matographic theory and learned how to operate gas and high-pressure liquid chrom atographs. I researched and isolated triclosan, a ubiquitous bactericide and sus pect carcinogen.\\ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \resheading{Publications} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %\textbf{Academic} Decal RB. ``Ebbs and Glows: Quantifying Small RNA Concentrations in \tex tit{C. elegans}".
