After graduating with a Master’s of Science in 2011 from the UO I became the lab manager and then director for the Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) lab in the Center for Advanced Materials Characterization at Oregon (CAMCOR). CAMCOR is a high tech extension service under the office of the Vice-President of Research and Innovation (VPRI). I have also served as a member of the representative assembly for United Academics since its inception.
