What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can apply biotech laboratory training, strict safety habits, and quality control to real workflows—using data analysis to support accurate results while also valuing wellness-focused, innovation-minded teamwork.

I’m a detail-oriented biotechnology laboratory science candidate with formal training in microbiology, biochemistry, lab safety, quality control, and data analysis. My laboratory preparation includes aseptic technique, pH testing, solution preparation, and sample documentation, supported by a Laboratory Technician Certification (expected completion November 2025).

I also bring hands-on wellness and food operational experience—from culinary arts training and food safety leadership (ServSafe®) to cannabis science operations (CBD Kratom Dispensary) focused on inventory compliance, customer education, and product training. I’m known for precision, teamwork, SOP compliance, and a strong commitment to safety and innovation.
