Work Experience
Violin Teacher: 2013 - Current
Winnipeg, MB and Victoria, BC
Taught 3 students who had never held a violin before how to play tunes from Preliminary Level RCM material. I am also currently training 2 students for their Grade 1 RCM examination.
My Experience:
- I am trained in western classical music with the RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music) and have completed my Grade 7 practical examination with honours.
Summer Student: July - August (2013 - 2014)
St. Boniface Research Centre - Dr. Michael Czubryt's Lab (Winnipeg, MB)
Worked under a PhD. student performing experiments to assist the lab's research on Cardiac Fibrosis. For my work, I was also a first author on an abstract submission for the American Basic Cardiovascular Sciences meeting.
Some of the lab protocols and techniques I learned and am confident in performing are:
- Genomic DNA Isolation
- Polymerase Chain Reaction
- Cell Culturing
- RNA Isolation (with tissue and cell samples)
- Western Blotting
- RNA Purification
- Protein Isolation and Estimation
- Making basic solutions and buffers
