Summary
In my current position as Product Developer at Ward's Science, a division of Avantor Sciences/VWR International, I continuously collaborate with clients and company personnel to problem solve not only during initial development of each project, but also during continuous maintenance of all products. I deliver a high level of customer service by offering extensive knowledge of customers' science kits, both past and present. My extreme attention to detail and organizational skills allow me to work on multiple projects at any given time while consistently creating error free bills of material and editing instructional documents for our publisher clients.
