Felicia Akuamoa

A self-motivated, enthusiastic, independent, curious, creative, result-oriented and hardworking researcher with good analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills. I am sociable, highly versatile and can generate ideas and workable solutions independently and in a team. Currently, I am searching for exciting opportunities to satisfy my intellectual curiosity by exploiting available resources and information to help solve related problems and exploit other areas to promote consumers' health and safety including the environment.
