Comparation

 I consider that I would be a great support in this area, I am a persevering person and I will
always do my job in the best way. I have participated in various research groups so it
would not be difficult for me to work as a team. Although I do not have work experience in
a company, I have worked as an analyst in a laboratory within my university and I know
the responsibilities that good laboratory practices entail.

About me

Currently I am a student in the ninth semester of the career in industrial chemistry, I consider
myself a responsible, punctual, persevering, self-taught and proactive person. My area of expertise
