Profile My laboratory experience is in forensic toxicology. I
have a total of eight years work history in the
laboratory environment. I presently perform many
responsibilities and duties such as being the quality
control officer, manager of the hair testing and
accessioning departments, and manage the laboratory
inventory. I am interested in gaining more experience in
other laboratory environments. I am a fast learner and
work very hard to succeed at things that I don't have a
lot of experience in.
