Research Technician

Summary

I am a bilingual (English and Vietnamese) biochemistry major with a strong commitment to advancing medical research. I hold a B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Maryland College Park and an Associate of Science from Montgomery College, where I was recognized as an ACES scholar and Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society member. My professional experience includes conducting research on bowerbird mating behavior under Dr. Gerald Borgia, where I collected and analyzed behavioral data and presented my findings at academic meetings. Additionally, I have worked as a certified pharmacy technician at Giant Pharmacy, where I resolved drug conflicts, calculated prescription dosages, and communicated effectively with patients and insurers. My volunteer work with the Maryland Medical Reserve Corps and various community organizations highlights my dedication to public health and community service. In my leadership roles as an assistant volleyball coach and board member of the Vietnamese Student Association, I have demonstrated my ability to mentor and collaborate effectively. With my strong academic record, hands-on research experience, and commitment to public health, I am well-equipped to contribute as a research technician.

Expectations

In my new job, I expect to be challenged intellectually and professionally, with opportunities to apply and further develop my skills in biochemistry and laboratory techniques. I anticipate working in a collaborative environment where I can contribute to meaningful research projects and make a positive impact on scientific advancement. Clear communication and support from colleagues and supervisors are important to me, as well as opportunities for growth and learning. I aim to be part of a team that values innovation, integrity, and excellence in scientific research, with a shared goal of improving healthcare outcomes and contributing to the greater scientific community. Additionally, I look forward to opportunities for leadership and mentorship, as well as contributing positively to the overall success and goals of the organization.
