“Professional organizations like ASCP and ASCLS need passionate volunteers to shape the profession – take advantage of these organizations to grow and make a difference,” says Aaron, who is Laboratory Quality Coordinator at Baptist Health System, Jacksonville, Florida. He is also on the ASCP’s social media team and uses his own social media platforms to advocate for the lab’s role in healthcare. His best career advice? “If you are passionate about your work, others will take an interest and be willing to invest in your career growth. Be brave and take risks. They’ll pay off in the long term.”
