Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a medical technologist with 33 years of experience in the laboratory medicine industry and I

have worked in a variety of laboratory environments. In addition to performing a wide variety of

laboratory tests, my work experience includes being responsible for utilizing independent judgment

and interpretive testing. My laboratory responsibilities have included quality control procedures,

equipment maintenance, quality assurance, calibration of instruments and troubleshooting

equipment.

As a blood bank technologist I have performed a broad range of immunohematological analysis

and tests on patient and donor red blood cells and serum. I am precise, accurate and analytical and

am able to handle all facets of responsibilities while giving attention to details. This includes problem

solving using both qualitative and quantitative determinations. I maintain knowledge of current

theories and principles in order to perform effectively and maintain excellent communication with the

department and other personnel.

I hold a bachelor's degree in medical technology. My education and work experience have

provided me with a strong understanding of clinical laboratory methodology and its clinical

correlation. As a medical technologist I have a high level of proficiency working with various

laboratory computer information systems. Attention to details in with patient records, test

procedures and their results are one of the many assets I bring to the work environment.

I believe that I can be a valuable asset to your company and I would like to discuss future

employment opportunities with you in an interview. Your consideration is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Veronica Foy-Atkins, MT (ASCP)
