To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing in regards to any employment opportunities which may be available within your
Company.

In 2010 Schering Plough Pharmaceutical merged with Merck Pharmaceutical, therefore downsizing and
eliminating  job positions.  My position, as Research and Development Supervisor, was eliminated
within  the  Schering Plough Organization, Union, N.J.,  in October of 2010.

Although in my career of nearly thirty years of service with Schering Plough Pharmaceutical, I have realized
that the aspects of my work which I find the most rewarding are in the management and personnel relations
of employees.

My experience and Supervisory skills in dealing with people can absolutely open up new avenues for me,
not necessarily in a Pharmaceutical environment, as in the past, but hopefully other opportunities which deal
with people within a company or corporate setting.

My strongest points are my organizational and managerial skills, with the focus to improve an employee’s
performance, developing group and team skills, and knowledge to complete assigned jobs, duties,
and tasks.  I motivate employees to achieve higher standards which increase overall efficiency.

I have recently relocated to Parker, Colorado from Edison, New Jersey to be closer to family.

I would be more than happy to forward references as requested.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
