      Gained experience conducting a trained panel for cheese evaluation and four consumer panels. I acquired the ability to use the sensory software program, Compusense®, for various sensory panels. I completed method development, instrumental operation, and subsequent data analysis associated with Alpha MOS ASTREE Electronic Tongue. I attained extensive hands-on experience with proximate analysis using AOAC methods for cheese and proficiency of cheesemaking process in the experimental vats at WSU Creamery. Mas kaunti I ensured safety of students by overseeing pilot plant and kitchen procedures in food processing and product development classes, respectively. I assisted with assessments of students via grading for food processing, food chemistry, and sensory evaluation of food and wine. I prepared laboratory experiments and exercises for the laboratory classes of food processing and sensory evaluation of food and wine. I developed future class activities to aid students with debate assignments in food chemistry. Mas kaunti

      Adjunct Professor

      Courses taught include Discovery and Thinking in the Natural Sciences (SC100) and General Chemistry 1 Laboratory (CE111L). SC100 is a course for non-science majors to familiarize them with scientific concepts in the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology so they gain insight on the impact science has on society. We specifically had a unit that focused on climate science, sustainability, and natural resources.
