Summary

As a highly motivated college student planning on getting a bachelor's degree in the Biotechnology/Cell and Molecular Biology field, I am eager to explore the field of biology by looking for opportunities to showcase the knowledge I gained from the coursework I have completed in college. Even though I have no direct industrial experience, I am willing to bring a strong foundation in relative coursework, which includes laboratory skills gained through my studies at Las Positas College. This internship opportunity will let me explore and help me choose my career goal in the biotechnology field.
