I prepared environmental samples for trace metals analyses on ICP-MS. Following federally regulated protocols I performed distillations, digestions, and extractions on waste water, sediment, food, and organismal tissues daily. I analyzed coal power plant waste water and patented chemical mixtures for cyanide using IC-PAD and trace metals speciation by ICP-MS. In addition to this role I calibrate tools, dispose of hazardous waste, and maintain laboratory workspace and lab equipment in a clean and operable condition. I am a team player that is self-motivated, self-accountable, and has high attention to detail.
