ABOUT ANNA CERENO
I am a graduated molecular, cellular, and organismal biology student dedicated to learning from different experiences to help those around me. I look forward to working with experienced medical laboratory technicians to build a long-term career in the biological field and enhance my technical skills. With a background in web graphic design, my expertise includes Microsoft Office programs, project management, HTML, and interpersonal skills. Working as a freelance designer made me a flexible, quick learner by exposing me to different computer programs and clientele.However, I\'m more than my education and work experience. I enjoy painting, reading books, bouldering, and perusing the food culture in Chicago. On the weekends, you can find me at church teaching Sunday school. All in all, I love trying new things! Reach out if you want to talk about emerging tech, new medical research, or good food I should try.
