Current Projects

1. Attending graduate school at Minnesota State University, Mankato

Going for my Masters degree in Food Microbiology

http://www.mankato.msus.edu

2. Working steadily on my graduate thesis research project and starting to write my thesis:

Looking at the adherence of Listeria monocytogenes, forming biofilms, on glass beads. Then determining the D-values at 37C rather than 25C (its optimal growth temperature).

3. Keeping my resume updated including:

My summer internship position at Pillsbury, in Minneapolis, a couple summers ago, where I performed microbial tests on different yeast strains. This is where I met my first French man, Francois, who daily tried to take over my lab, and was given the opportunity to demonstrate my excellent musical ability with my supervisor Bill on two special occasions. Go visit their web site at http://www.Pillsbury.com

4. Starting the job hunting venture.

5. Reflecting on my trip to Tanzania, Africa this past summer. And trying to finish my scrapbook to show everyone else even part of what all I experienced.
