What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my skills in a dynamic environment while providing opportunities for learning and growth.

I am an experienced LCMS Extraction Specialist with a strong background in nutritional science and public health. Since April 2019, I have been leading a team at Access Medical Lab, where I excel in preparing specimens for hormone analysis using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. My role involves not only technical expertise but also effective communication with my team and lab supervisors to enhance our operations.

In addition to my lab experience, I have entrepreneurial skills demonstrated through my vendor markets in Florida, where I successfully sold homemade cinnamon ginger candied nuts. My diverse background includes working as a Dietary Aide, where I collaborated with chefs to prepare meals tailored to residents' dietary needs, and as a House Steward on American Cruise Line, where I honed my leadership abilities while managing public spaces.
