Dear Hiring Professional,

I am currently a student at Christopher Newport University, studying biochemistry. I plan to graduate in May 2016 with a Bachelor of Science, and I am currently seeking a position working in a pharmaceutical laboratory.

While at Christopher Newport University, I have taken a variety of chemistry courses (such as, then list:) in general, organic, physical, analytical, and biochemistry, as well as courses in genetics and cellular biology. A majority of these courses included a laboratory component. I am familiar with many important laboratory techniques.

In addition to attending CNU, I also worked as a front-of-house team member for Noodles and Company. During my time there, I took care of guest concerns and relayed them to our kitchen and upper management, while working in a team environment. In addition, my experience at Noodles and Company has allowed me to adapt to the kind of fast-paced work often encountered in many professional environments.

My resume, which details my credentials, is attached. Feel free to contact me at (757)-969-8547 if you wish to schedule an interview or if you have any questions. Thank you for your time in considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Stefanie Upchurch
