Summary
Through my work as a Technical Support Scientist with Shimadzu I have been able to learn much about various scientific instruments and the techniques involved with them. I am thankful for being subjected to troubleshooting various chromatography and mass spectrometry issues in field from bad sample to part defects. Setting up demo's, presentations, and internal discussions have been tasks allocated to me for which I am thankful for. I look forward towards continuing to learn and grow my understanding of scientific instrumentation and the techniques involved in their use.
