Following the acquisition of Biotronic NeuroNetwork by NuVasive I have enjoyed intregrating existing skills into more complete spine health and deformity treatments with coworkers and physicians.

As a Lab Technician in a small lab I was accorded many opportunities to participate not only in active experiments and research but also data entry, data analysis, and research design. I enjoyed working through research protocols to make sure that the outlined experiments would yield meaningful results. I also witnessed situations of flawed methodology in study design and the consequences thereof. I learned through this experience how to establish reliable research protocols, optimize funding and personal efficiency, and data analysis and interpretation.

As a server at the Palomino brand restaurant of Restaurants Unlimited I demonstrated a thorough knowledge of service standards, wines, and menu items. As a server I showed the abilities of multi-tasking and performing well in high-pressure situations. I also interacted with associates and guests of varying backgrounds. One of the measures of our performance was the guest check average of which I consistently in the top five of the front of the house staff.
