Summary
I have been a Medical Laboratory Scientist for the past 19 years. The last 2 years have been primarily in chemistry and the 1 1/2 years prior were specialized in blood bank. Although it has been awhile since I worked exclusively as a generalist, my greatest skills are adaptability and being a quick learner. I work fine independently, but am also known as a team player who will always step up to help a coworker or do what needs to be done to help the team if we are short staffed.
