Shandon @ The Research Ace

Hi! My name is Shandon Collins. Most of my career has involved scientific research and I have dedicated most of my life to finding the answers to the most difficult questions (and I love every bit of it!). Through my studies in Biotechnology Enterprise, I have also learned more about business in general and how to utilize my research skills to help business owners obtain accurate information, promote and help their business grow.

Although, my primary background is in science, I also have a background in communication studies and I can gladly provide non-science clients with my services as well. I love coming up with ways to organize effective PowerPoints for conferences and coming up with organize data more efficiently. Also, my scientific background will help in researching ANY subject meticulously such as product/service research or internet research for information about a particular subject. Research has been integral in my life and I would love to share that passion with the VA community and clients at large. I look forward to meeting new contacts here and building strong relationships here in this tight knit community!

Here are some other tidbits about me:

* B.A. Biology and Chemistry (double major) with emphasis in Biotechnology and Biochemistry

* Minor in Communication Studies as well as years of communication experience (PowerPoint presentations, communication research, interpersonal communication)

* M.S. in Biotechnology with emphasis in Biotechnology Enterprise (in progress)

* 4 years of "at the bench" biological research experience in addition to education in biology and chemistry.

* American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Member

* American Physician Scientist Association Member

I hope to meet and network with you soon!!
