About

I have exceptional time management as I worked and went to school, both of which were full-time. I am a quick learner and am not afraid to ask questions until I have a solid understanding of what is being asked of me.

I have a year's worth of research lab experience, which will be continued next semester. The research is focused on parasite community diversity of fish in polluted creeks. I gave a presentation at our school's CREATE symposium.

I am competent with necropsy/dissection, sterilization techniques, and use of different microscopes (compound, dissecting, fluorescence).
