Summary
I am a scientist who greatly appreciates the hands-on and problem-solving side of the lab. My current job surprisingly resonates with my previous experience in the kitchen, as both require attention to detail, communication, and willingness to learn. I am looking for a more creative outlet that will give back to my community in my spare time.
