Management Skills
In addition to management skills that I acquired while pursuing a Bachelor’s
degree in accounting and business administration, I have a strong record of
leadership in the United States Marine Corps where I served as a senior squad
leader. I had direct responsibility for the daily schedules and training of 80
men. My careers have also included duties as a senior laboratory technician
where I oversaw the duties and tasks of 9 subordinate technicians. Both in the
military and civilian scientific arenas, I have prided myself on the
productivity and professionalism of those under my supervision.
