I am a recent graduate of the University of Nebraska at
Lincoln. It
has taken a long time to reach this point, but I am very excited to
start a new chapter in my life. I worked my own way through
college,
so it took a little longer than most, but I am very goal-oriented,
and
accomplish what I set out to do. I have always been interested
in
biological research and using science to help others.
Throughout my
college career, I have had a lot of experience working with
people
from different backgrounds, in different capacities. I have
extensive
experience as a telephone interviewer; from making sales calls,
to
conducting research calls as well as public relations/customer
satisfaction evaluations. As a Teacher's Assistant, I worked with
children from every walk of life, at all levels of education and
from
all socioeconomic levels; many dealing with behavioral or
developmental disorders they are working to overcome/control. I
also
have four years of supervisory experience; delegating work
duties and
performing quality assurance checks on completed work.
