My career in lab sciences started over 30 years ago, and has included clinical cytology practice, research and education. I've served in professional organizations, contributed to the lab sciences body of knowledge and helped to influence the way we practice our collective professions. There have been many technological changes and exciting challenges in the laboratory fields during this time, and there will be more.

I encourage you to explore the opportunities available to you in the lab sciences. I hope you will find, as I did, that a rewarding and personally satisfying future awaits you.
