I am a senior at Shaw High School in East Cleveland and will graduate in May 2018. It is my intent to attend Case Western Reserve University in the fall of 2018 to study biology and premedicine. I am prepared to immediately contribute my skills and education to assist in furthering the goals of your lab.  \nEnclosed you will find my resume for your review. As indicated, I have taken science courses including Biology, Chemistry, Advanced Chemistry, and Physics, all of which included laboratory work. I loved being in the lab, especially doing dissections, where I was able to learn specifically about the working anatomy of invertebrate and vertebrate animals. Additionally, maintaining a safe and clean laboratory environment is critical to carrying out experiments as accurately as possible. For eight months, I have worked part-time at McDonald’s, arriving on time or early for each and every shift, and collaborating with a team to provide an enjoyable dining experience to every customer. I’m certain these skills would be valuable in your lab.  \nI am excited for the opportunity to work in a college research environment and believe that my passion for science, along with my organization skills, teamwork, and diligence make me an excellent fit for this position. I look forward to discussing my qualifications with you in an interview and am available after 3 p.m. weekdays [at 216.368.4446 or chloe.callahan@gmail.com.
