SUMMARY:

I would be a great asset since I was a Research Laboratory Technician II for 11 years at Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratories. I deliver my results on time because I am very efficient and
organized; I take pride in being someone you can rely on. I would like to continue to be a
cutting-edge technician, research assistant or associate in a non-profit, R&D facility or
biopharmaceutical company that will challenge me to continue my education of the latest
techniques being developed. I hope to help further the newest technologies which are being used
to identify key genes within many well-known publicized diseases, which hopefully one day will
be eradicated by advancements made in the pharmaceutical world.
