About
I am a dedicated and responsible team player with strong interpersonal skills, who readily adapts to change and posses the ability to work independently as well as in groups. I am a firm believer in high quality output and I place a firm priority on meeting deadlines. After attaining my Associate Degree from Queen's College, Barbados I came to the United States to pursue studies at the New Jersey Institute of Technology where I am a senior with a major in Biochemistry and a double minor in Business and Environmental Science Policy. In addition, I am part of an accelerated BS/MS program where I take graduate courses related to the Masters in Pharmaceutical Chemistry.
