Prior to (and sometimes during) my time at the University of Colorado Health System, I worked in multiple labs across the University to gain healthcare and life science experience.

Most of my research was based specifically around cancer physiology in the wet lab and effective strategies for cancer rehabilitation.

Exercise Physiology Cancer Laboratory

• Served as head lab and research assistant in a study using magnetism to isolate red blood cells in Polycythemia Vera diagnosed patients before and after heavy exercise loads.
• In vitro laboratory experiments led to multiple publications regarding how the heart affects leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma metastasizing throughout the body following different exercise regimes.
• Conducted data analysis in R and Python to assist in the creation of novel genetic counseling platforms used in exercise-based cancer rehabilitation.

GIS Laboratory

• Conducted multi-variable analysis in population density using kernel density analysis methods to identify the usefulness of new recreation centers and their ideal locations.
• Assessed data provided by the town of Greeley to assess the greenhouse gas emissions released from cattle in and around the most densely populated areas of the city.
