​Something you have always wanted to learn or try: I would like to learn how to be a helicopter or plane pilot.

​Why did you join the Rees Scientific Team?

I had just completed my Electrical Engineering degree and was looking for a company I could grow with. I found the role of a RS technician attractive because I already had experience with Zigbee technology as well as computers and networking, so it was a very good fit. I was excited for the ability to expand my technical skills, opportunities for advancement, and traveling to different cities, states and abroad. 

Did your background in the Army help you when joining Rees Scientific?
Definitely, from a technical standpoint as well as ability to work independently, achieve mission goals, teamwork and leadership.

How has your role evolved since you joined Rees Scientific?
Initially, I was hired as a Field Service Technician I and within one year I was promoted to level III.  Approximately one year later, I was offered the SW5STS Sales Representative position.

​What are some of the Rees Scientific products or services that have received positive feedback from the customers you interact with?
I have received positive feedback on our Mapping kits and RTD sensors. Customers really like how easy it is to use the system because there is no need to download data to a spreadsheet and crunch numbers. They also like the versatility of the system such as being able to map the number of points they need/want and different types of environments.  Customers also like that the RTD sensors can map incubators, fridges, freezers as well as ultra-low units. I think it comes down to three points:  ease-of-use, versatility and value!

How do you envision the future of Rees Scientific in terms of growth, innovation and impact?
I see Rees growing exponentially over the next 3-5 years with innovative products and services that will impact the life sciences industry throughout the globe.
