Summary
In the past three years, I have developed a deep appreciation and pride in the lab work that I do. With this, I hope to take the techniques and experience I have developed in my present work and expand on them in a new and challenging lab environment. I am eager to involve myself in a new laboratory or research setting in which I can further my development in fields related to biology and chemistry. The skills I have developed in testing, GMP, and SOP fulfillment have prepared me for the next stage of my career, and I hope to use them in a setting that encourages advancement and more creative problem-solving, which leaves me in a position to benefit my community.
