The documents shared in this portfolio represent a selection of my research papers and lab reports from my coursework at the University of Nebraska Omaha and Metropolitan Community College. To ensure proper academic and collaborative credit:

• Individual Work: Papers where only my full name or NO name appears were researched and written entirely by me.

• Collaborative Projects: For reports where my name appears alongside the initials of my peers, I served as the primary author. In these instances, I led the narrative and data analysis, while my colleagues contributed through editing and the preparation of specific figures or supplemental data.
