My career as a technician working in a lab setting has taught me many skills.

I have learned how to ask for help when I need it, how to be a part of a team and how to achieve success on my own. I am very organized, I work well with others and I am detail oriented. My time here will always be dear to me but I have found myself wanting to explore other career opportunities.
