With a Master of Arts in Biological Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in Biology, both from The University of Alabama, I have consistently maintained a high GPA and participated in an Accelerated Master's Program and the University Honors College, reflecting my commitment to academic excellence. My work experiences have spanned diverse fields, from self-employment as a seamstress, where I honed my sewing skills and crafted high-quality handcrafted products, to my role as a Quality Control Biologist at Aegis Sciences Corporation, where I managed laboratory workflows, data, and safety protocols. I've also demonstrated compassion in my position as an Animal Care Technician at the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter and adaptability in my role as a Sortation Associate at Amazon.com, Inc., where I excelled in a fast-paced, physically demanding environment. My strong points include technical proficiency, keen attention to detail, independence, and an unwavering commitment to safety, making me a versatile and diligent candidate for various roles.
