years of professional experience
I'm an Undergraduate biochemistry student with an understanding of many of the principles intrinsic to biochemistry and organic chemistry. Along with a background in many team-oriented fields, I am very comfortable with public speaking and more than capable of putting the time in. With years of leadership positions in and out of scouting, I've spent a long time managing others and taking part in complex projects. I believe I would be a great help to anything I'm a part of.
