Education
Brigham Young University, Provo, UT Fall 2004 - Present Expected graduation April 2012, earning B.S. in Genetics and Biotechnology with emphasis on microbial genetics Minors in Business Management and Microbiology Coursework includes:
 * Mentored Lab Techniques: Hands-on experience researching a gene starting from RNA extraction and designing specific primers to replication, sequencing, and studying the gene with bioinformatic software.
 * Molecular and Cellular Biology Courses: In-depth study of the inner workings of cells with a focus on general strategies and modern techniques of experimentation as well as interpreting data from contemporary publications.
 * Genomics: Integrated knowledge of cellular functions with modern DNA sequencing techniques to better understand implications of modern research published in scientific journals.
 * Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry Courses: Studied the biochemical processes crucial to life and the chemistry that makes them possible.
 * Genetics: Solved challenging statistical and logical problems built around complicated patterns of genetic inheritance in plants, animals, and humans.
 * Botany: Actively participated in small-group discussions regarding intricate plant functions and the critical role of plants in the biosphere.
 * Advanced Physiology: In-depth study of mammalian tissues and organ systems and their pathogens focusing on homeostasis with human as the model organism.
 * Statistics: Employed various formulas to determine the significance and probability of error of data gathered from experimentation.
 * Organizational Effectiveness: Studied how to increase outputs to inputs of organizations through organizational structure, strategy, and leadership.
 * Basic Computer Programming: Designed and implemented original algorithms for simple programs and databases using Java platform.

Research interests
I am particularly interested in bioengineering practical applications to such fields as energy, medicine, food supply, or pollution clean-up.
