Hi everyone,

On Thursday March 22 we will have DREAM Seminar Series. As always, it will take place from 3-4pm in 500JBRC and everyone is welcome to attend!

Shantel & Brett from Thermo Fisher Scientific will be here to give us a carrer development based talk and they will present on the skills required to work in sales and how to transition from working in the lab to a sales role. There biographies are included below:

Brett Dalman, BSc. Brett graduated with a Bachelor of Science, Major Microbiology with a minor in zoology in the Co-op Program from the University of Manitoba. During university, she participated in the co-op program gaining experience with Miraculins (a biotech company working on cancer), and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Upon graduation, she continued to work at the CFIA as a permanent technician working with high containment viruses for research and diagnostics applications. In 2010, she began the next stage in her career and became a Sales Representative, for the distribution company VWR, dealing with a variety of accounts and product lines. In 2014, she was approached to join a more specialized company as a Territory Manager for Thermo Fisher Scientific where she relies on her scientific degree to better support research labs.

 

Shantel Gushue, MSc. Shantel Gushue graduated with her Bachelor of Science Degree as a ‘Student of Distinction’ from the University of Winnipeg in 2008. Shortly thereafter, she pursued graduate school at the University of Manitoba in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease. After working approximately 10 months as a Clinical Research Coordinator at the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba, she landed a position with Fisher Scientific as an Account Manager. Her primary focus is to sell laboratory supplies, chemicals, and equipment into pharmaceutical, clinical, industrial, academic, and agricultural accounts. Although she initially had little experience in the area of sales and business, she has been very successful and continues to drive sales for the company as well as create long lasting partnerships with both colleagues and customers.
