Jacob Delos Reyes

I am switching careers from being a professional cook to a medical lab assistant in order to learn more about myself and learn something new for fun. I would say my best traits are being focused and hard working as well as wanting to learn something and do it better and more efficiently once I understand the basics. I believe I am the type of person who can work any job and be great at it given time and patience.
