Summary
With a passion for chemical analysis, a serious work ethic, and an ability to work efficiently in a laboratory environment, I have a dedication to learning – and to applying what I learn – and a level of experience that is distinctive for someone my age. Not only do I ensure every effort to master new skills; I strive continuously to refine the skills that I have. While I work in a very orderly and precise manner, I possess a great capacity for adaptability – I am flexible with the variety of tasks that I must perform, and I excel whether alone or as part of a team. In my down time, I enjoy drawing and digital illustration, playing the piano, climbing, and swimming. Skills
