Summary
Working in the animal field for 6 years, integrating my Uconn studies and my position at Pfizer, I'm able to adapt to my work environment and offer a great work ethic. I'm a team player with strong attention to detail and time management. Willing to take on multiple priorities and/or projects to help meet goals for the team. I wish to continue learning and gaining more knowledge to apply towards a professional career in environmental sciences.
