27 year old chemical laboratory student seeking to obtain a position within a laboratory, either as an assistant tech or technician. Thoroughly enjoys the numerous learning opportunities and challenges presented while working within the laboratory. Considers myself to have a well rounded scope of knowledge and strives to give everything best effort. Meticulous and conscientious.

• Participated in mineral extraction for Induced-Coupled Plasma analysis

-Conducted both calorimetric and volumetric titrations for respective detection of bicarbonate concentration as found within greenhouse and farm water samples, and sodium or chloride millivolt concentration as found within saline forage samples

• Subsampled a variety of forage samples (corn silages, total mixture ration forages, rye and oat based forages, hay and straw) and manure samples as well as other miscellaneous specimens
• Prepared and ran samples through the Near Infrared Instrumentation device to create a spectra through which a detectable outlier was given as used as a method of comparison
• Used the primary standard solutions to create other primary standards used for other detection of chloride, nitrate concentration as found within a variety of forage samples

-Calibrated pH meters, and ISE, and chloride meters and detected concentration of such as within forage and water samples
