Summary
I'm a motivated and friendly worker, with experience in a myriad of things that have helped me long-term with finding a career path that I'm passionate about. I have worked for almost two years in a histology lab and I am looking to advance further! I have been described by both colleagues and employers as easy to work with and reliable. I am knowledgeable in laboratory equipment and protocols, medical terminology, and specimen processing. I prefer working nights, but can be flexible with my schedule.
Attached to this resume will be letters of recommendation, yearly performance reviews, as well as a CV. Starting this August, I will also begin studying part-time for an A.S degree in Biochemistry.
