Summary
I am a lab manager with over 5 years of experience in construction materials testing. I’ve been able to push through from no experience and no certifications to lab tech, field tech and now lab manager. Since I've been the lab supervisor/manager we’ve been able to reach our first million dollar year for the department and keep our revenue up from the previous year every month. I am driven and always ready for the next challenge.
