      Jan 2014 - Aug 2015

      Tutored many levels of university math and physics for school peer group, both individual and groups. I developed clear, effective methods for communicating complex topics. I engaged and related to people of varying skill levels and personalities on a daily basis. I delivered complex mathematical concepts; evaluated individual learning difficulties and implemented effective teaching strategies. Graded many levels of university math homework, and organized feedback and scores for professors. I was awarded a teaching assistant fellowship in a new physics class for non-science majors. I assisted in lectures, prepared and presented in class demonstrations, supported the professor and PhD student in running the class. I developed my public speaking skills, and classroom and lecture organization.

      Laboratory Technician

      Worked in a superconductor materials synthesis laboratory. I presented and evaluated findings with lab colleagues verbally and through Power Point. I mixed isolated metals and other chemicals in a controlled anaerobic glove box, used high temperature ovens, and prepared test tube samples and materials for x-ray testing. I collected original data, and analyzed it with computer modeling software. Performed delicate, high attention to detail tasks.
