Project Technician
Resume:
SUMMARY
With a BS in Biology and MS in Biotechnology this year, my career experience developed alongside my academic pursuits; while pursuing my Bachelor’s, I worked as a private tutor, after which I took my completed degree into a Clinical Laboratory Technician role in a Genomic and Proteomic lab where I further developed my skills in tissue, cell culture techniques and assays. My experience then developed through another research role before I completed my MS in Biotechnology with an emphasis on R&D, research, regulatory affairs, and adherence to Good Practices including GMP. In my most recent internship I had:
Worked on 3 simultaneous projects of varying timelines for clinical drug submission.
Supported and managed NDA and BLA submission forms for FDA approval.
Closely collaborated with direct supervisors, managers, and directors who attended quarterly FDA meetings and enforced project timelines.
Developed an expert level of comfort with MS Office, particularly Word and Excel.
