Summary
I am an aspiring biomedical scientist with an emphasis on infectious disease and immunology. For the last year and a half, I have worked as a phlebotomist in the private sector with Dorevitch Pathology where I learned extensively and gained valuable experience. I would like to move into the public sector to add to my list of skills and hopefully move into the lab when I graduate.
