LULING
Summary
Started out at Dow right after highschool in the apprenticeship program. They sent me to the Amines unit where I really enjoyed my time learning the ins and outs of being a lab technician. I was sent to Delgado to complete my associate in laboratory Technology and was also able to get my degree in instrumentation.
I finished the program a little more than two years ago where I am not certified on everything in the lab and have trained multiple new employees. I am a Compassionate Laboratory Technician trained to handle issues and remain level-headed. Reliable and hardworking with great interpersonal and team collaboration skills. I like to learn new things and am not afraid to ask if I don’t know something.
