Goals in Life

-


 1. What are your professional goals, 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years into the future? What will accomplishing these goals let you do? How will accomplish these goals impact those around you and what will it make possible for those in your community? 

I believe that in 10 years from now I will be working in a nice accredited crime laboratory for a while now. I also would love to help out my family and slowly start repaying everything that my parents have done for me. I also would love to be starting a family of my own. Something that I told myself that I would love to accomplish is, I would love to give back to Phoenix College and ASU. Throughout my education I had so much help from these schools that I feel the need to give back and help others who are barely starting their education journey.

2. What are societal challenges that matter to you that you think it's important to deal with now? What do you think are the challenges that will matter 10 years in the future, and 20 years in the future? How do you think these challenges will be addressed, and what will need to happen to make sure that they are?

I think staying connected with one another is going to be something that is getting harder and harder.  I like to believe that I am one that I am not always on my phone and I try to stay connected to the world as much as possible. However, I do know people who depend a lot on social media and it is sometimes hard to connect with them. Also with the pandemic in the last year, how everything was forced to be remote, I feel like a lot of that human interaction is lost and its something that we must regain back. I am hoping that in the next years it doesn't just get worse and that it gets better. 

3. What is something that makes you optimistic about the future, and why? This could be something big and impersonal (the improving price of Li-ion batteries) or something small and personal (a new pet). Please describe how it feels to focus on this thing that makes you optimistic, and discuss whether you think it is a good idea to be intentional about being optimistic. 

I am optimist about having the opportunity to use the degree that I am getting now and putting into action. I have always been passionate about always helping law enforcement to help stop crimes in the community. The sense of relief of putting bad people and getting them of the streets is something very relieving for me. I also would love to bring families justice to any crimes that need to be solved. I am optimistic because I know that I will be able to use my expertise and credibility and do something good in the world.

Prepping Everything First!

Before the spring break started the goal was to get a set of fresh new plastics treated and disinfected. So the Friday before the spring break we grated as much plastic as possible, and we even had some people donate some plastics for our project because the drill we used was having some issues. We then drained them in 100% isopropanol and let them air dry inside the hood to allow them to be ready for after the break. When we came back the plastics were then tested on PIA plated to see if there was any contamination in them before we could start the incubation process. Plastic #3 did show signs of slight contamination so they were treated one more time to see if we could get rid of it and actually start our next step next week.

I am excited to say that Maria and I will be attending this Arizona Industry Association conference on October 3rd. Thanks to the recommendation by Dr. Cotter we decided to give this conference a shot, and sure enough, we were accepted got the email confirming our attendance. This will be the first conference we will be attending for the year, so we are going to dedicate some time to practice our presentation and to get more familiar with speaking in front of crowds of people again. I am really excited to be attending this conference and to see what kind of research other people are doing around the valley. It should be a good learning experience for us.

Fig. 1 One of the images that was edited and placed in our posters. It shows the bacteria I was working on which is Pseudomonas aeruginosa,  When I left school Friday afternoon I thought I was going to have a regular easy going weekend. Usually, on my weekends I work from 7am to 3pm, so my whole morning is occupied working. With just a few days away from the 2018 WAESO Conference there was a lot of preparing to do for our posters Like I was saying I thought the posters were all set for the conference... I thought wrong. During the week there was so much editing to do with the posters. Every little tedious detail had to be just right, and that is what made this project a little harder. Do not get me wrong, in the end when I looked at the final edition of what was going to be printed the team and I felt so proud! All of our hard work finally paid off! Now I have to start preparing for my presentation, for the actual conference on Friday! Exciting!!
