Calista Hynes
@calistahynes
Quality Control Lab Technician and library professional focused on accurate testing, customer support, and clean, efficient operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Quality Control Lab Technician who supports production through precise testing and troubleshooting. I ran PH, Viscosity, Moisture, Yi and Transmission, maintained a clean lab, made solutions, and ensured the product sent out was good by asking for a resample and rerunning when necessary.
Alongside my lab work, I’ve built strong customer- and operations-focused habits as a Bookseller, Library Page, and Point Park University Library Aid. I help customers and library readers by ordering and finding books, assisting with setup and delivery, reshelving, taking inventory, and communicating clearly with coworkers while multitasking or working self reliant.
