I graduated in May of 2016 from The College at Brockport with a Bachelors Degree in Biology and a minor in Pre-Med. I graduated on May 2019 with my Master's Degree in Biology. I possess exceptional laboratory skills along with the knowledge of medical terminology. I am educated in chemistry and biology along with an immense amount of computer programs. I have worked for the City of Lockport every summer full-time from 2011-2014 doing manual labor, such as paving roads, running trees through a chipper, picking up brush, etc. My skills in the work place vary from being able to do outside hands on work to inside maintenance along with computer work as well. I pride myself on being very personable, problem solving and being able to deescalate any situation. Lastly, I take pride in making sure things get done the right way, no matter what it is. Therefore, I know once its done the right way you won't be second guessing it afterwards.
