Lead Lab and Research Assistant
Resume:
Oralia E. Rodriguez
*******************@*****.***
Profile
Previously I was a lab assistant at Saint Martin’s University and was a research assistant for Dr. Brandy Fox, a professor in chemistry and a researcher in inorganic chemistry. I have consistently worked in a lab setting for the last three years. I am knowledgeable in basic lab skills used in biology, chemistry, and physics. I also have comprehensive strengths in customer service and management, as I had to work closely with many of the science professors to produce specialty chemicals and lab set-ups. I managed three science departments (biology, chemistry, and physics) for a short time while my boss took an emergency leave of absence. This experience provided me with tools and perspective on how to efficiently run labs and successfully manage employees. Furthermore, I have volunteered my time to many causes that have helped and benefited the community and environment over the years. In doing so, I learned how to work as team, work on my own, and also how to lead others.
