Summary

I am a graduate of Acadia University, where I acquired a degree in biology and specialized in microbiology and immunology. Throughout my time at Acadia, I have acquired a wide set of skills and talents that are beneficial to the workforce. I have an in-depth background not only in biology but also chemistry and psychology. This allows me to apply myself to a variety of fields. I am skilled in software’s such as Microsoft Word and Excel, data analysis, along with efficient hands-on skills such as laboratory techniques (pipetting, sterilization titrations, LOI test, MPN test, and many more). During my time at IOC in the pallet shop I learned the importance of teamwork, communication, and creating strong professional relationships with coworkers, ensuring optimal production and it something I always strive for in the workforce. It also taught me a lot of office and administration skills, such as paperwork and deadlines, plus strong communication skills with supervisors and those around me. I am a very determined and dedicated to my field, and always striving to create positive work environments, ensuring productivity.
