Summary
I am a versatile Medical Laboratory Scientist with extensive experience working night shift at Providence Alaska Medical Center. After working as a bench tech for 10 years I accepted a lead position. In that role I excelled in maintaining a positive work environment by fostering learning and team work with new graduates who were working their first job in their chosen field. As a bench tech before and after my time as lead, I am an important member of the night shift team because of my attention to detail, multitasking abilities, and interdisciplinary communication skills.
