SUBJECT: APPLICATION FOR RESEARCH TECHNICIAN

Dear Employer:

I am writing to express my interest in applying for the job position as an Research Technician as posted in
the Ciencia Puerto Rico webpage on October 7, 2020. Currently, I am a senior student majoring in
Biomedical Science at the University of Puerto Rico in Ponce and look forward to finishing on December
2021 and; therefore, graduate on May 2022.

During my undergraduate studies career, I have had various leadership roles. These are Vice president of
Puerto Rico Pre-Dental Association, Co-captain of the Marching Band at the University of Puerto Rico
and Beta Field Trip Leader in the National Honor Society for Biologists. On these roles, I was in charge
of planning different events, talking to doctors and other possible speakers. All of this helped me improve
my leadership and team working skills.

Different classes like General Chemistry, General Biology, Organic Chemistry, Genetics, Microbiology
and Anatomy have given me a lot of laboratory experience. Specially the Genetics’ class laboratory has
given me the knowledge of DNA and RNA isolation, DNA amplifications, electrophoresis, and DNA
sequencing. Furthermore, on the Anatomy laboratory, I learned to work with mice simulation. These are
some of the reasons why I am confident that I have the skills to succeed on this job.

I believe my education and acquired skills with my past experiences make me an excellent candidate for
your job position. I intend to give my best efforts in any task assigned, but most importantly, to learn and
grow from the opportunities that your company may bring my way.

I looked forward to the opportunity to be interviewed about the Research Technician position. If you have
any questions or doubts, please contact me at my email address: camila.rodriguez13@upr.edu, or by
phone at: (787) 375-4488. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Biomedical Student
