Summary
I started my career in the army as a calibration specialist. After my service I started as a quality inspector at Turbo Combustor Technologies, after a year inspecting, I got the opportunity to run the calibration lab while crossing training into our materials lab. I have been a materials lab technician for over ten years now. I’m currently seeking a new opportunity as a materials lab technician and be part of a team.
