What I'm looking for

I seek entry-level lab or biomedicine roles where I can apply hands-on laboratory skills, support environmental conservation, work collaboratively, and grow professionally in a safety-focused, team-oriented setting.

I am a biology student concentrating in biomedicine with a minor in ecology and evolution, bringing a motivated, detail-oriented approach to both laboratory and food-service environments.

I've completed hands-on undergraduate laboratory coursework and performed precise chemical procedures such as titrations, buffer preparation, gel electrophoresis, spectrophotometry, and microscopy, and I hold ServSafe certification for professional food handling.

As a Head Sushi Chef and former barista and retail associate, I combine strong communication, organizational skills and customer service with a commitment to cleanliness, environmental conservation volunteering, and collaborative problem-solving.
