As a highly motivated worker I can develop good working relationships and communicate effectively with personnel at all levels. I have developed skills in analyzing and solving problems in order to make calculated decisions. I am results driven and geared to work as hard as required in order to realize my goals, especially in a science based environment. Basically, I am a zoologist with a working background in ecology, aquatic toxicology and fish genotoxicity.
