What I'm looking for

I seek a role emphasizing laboratory quality and safety, opportunities to improve processes, and a collaborative culture that supports professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented laboratory professional with over two years of hands-on experience in industrial laboratory environments, specializing in quality assurance, safety, and regulatory compliance. I have successfully conducted physical, chemical, and microbiological analyses, contributed to process optimizations that improved product quality, and maintained strict sanitation and safety records.

I also bring educational experience as a classroom teacher, developing engaging lesson plans and improving student performance through targeted instruction and technology integration. I am self-motivated, reliable, and seeking roles that prioritize quality, safety, and continuous improvement where I can apply both my laboratory and instructional skills.
