Independent Contractor/Field Analyst

Valdosta, Ga

While attending Valdosta State University I participated in an undergraduate research study funded
by a state grant. Due to the quality of work that I exhibited during the project I was chosen to be
brought on as a private contractor on the project and receive compensation for the work I
completed. For the research, I obtained field samples from local streams and rivers and analyzed the
samples in the laboratory. I also presented our findings at the Association of Southeastern Biologists
conference and the Valdosta State University undergraduate research symposium.

ability to articulate well and relate to others were traits that helped me acquire the position. These
are skills that are carried over to a profession in education. It is important be able to relate to
