Lexi Hamsmith is an asset to any company they work for with their impeccable work ethic, attitude, skills, and qualifications. They are not only a talented engineer and laboratory operations specialist, having worked extensively in leadership positions in both departmental safety and chemical engineering operations support, but also a skilled research associate. They have been personally responsible for ensuring laboratory compliance, safety, and strategy. Lexi has taken initiative and stretched their creative and scientific capabilities in overseeing research development and optimizing complex processes, such as scalable lipid nanoparticle formation and purification. They have excelled in their education, earning their bachelor's degree with dean's list recognition and a master's in STEM education. In their current role, they work to manage their department, leading a team of employees through procedures with high levels of care for the quality of their work. More than their technical skills, they are a collaborative and effective manager, working to create a respectful, safe, and positive work environment for their team without compromising on the quality of work. Overall, I highly recommend Lexi for any position, and I know they would be an incredible addition to any team.
