Summary
Novice, but with some experience in both quantitative and qualitative research methods, I was immersed in science at Marshall University during capstone research project that honed my data analysis and scientific writing abilities. This capstone course is the only laboratory experience I have. I made an A in my Capstone class. My proactive approach ensured the delivery of detailed, accurate findings, reflecting a keen organizational acumen and a strong capacity to synthesize complex information. I learned multiple laboratory techniques. I am continuing to learn more laboratory protocols and maitenance working my current position as a Lab Assistant in Dr. Yu's lab.
