To Whom It May Concern,

I am a certified Histotechnologist and have experience with cutting,

embedding, special stains and IHC. I also have experience with

accessioning, data entry and researching necessary information that will be

beneficial for the Pathologist. I am looking forward to gaining more

experience and advancing my abilities as a Histotechnologist.

As a Histotechnologist, I am eager to contribute my abilities and

experience to your hospital. If you have any questions or would like to

schedule an interview, feel free to call me at 520-***-****. I look

forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Heather L. Milliken
