edu (408) 823-7668 June 10, 2012 Dear Profesor Bhalla, I am starting my third year at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I have a declared major in Psychology and minor in Education. I was on the premed path, but realized, during my 2nd year, that medicine wasnt my passion; teaching was. I saw this lab assistant listing (#4920) on the UCSC employee request system and I am more than interested in this position. I would love an opportunity to participate with and assist you in your lab. I may not be a MCD major, but I have experience in working in psychology research for Professor Dom Massaro. I have worked with Dom Massaro in UCSCs psychology department. I helped his research on how we can help children as young as infants learn how to read and speak faster. Not only was I assisting his research, I was one of his office assistants. I organized books in his library, worked in databases, and revised information and books in his folders for him to input them into his systems. Most of the time, I worked alone. But I was part of a team of 5 associates. I have taken chemistry, chemistry lab, and biology courses. So I am familiar with the chemistry labs on campus and what equipment is used for what. I believe I am qualified to assist in anyway, and if not, I am a quick learner that can accomplish anything. I have also enclosed my resume on the next page, which provides additional information about my past and current work experiences. I really hope I get the opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my education and experiences would benefit your needs. If you have any questions, please feel free to email at hcheng6@ucsc.edu or to call my cell phone at (408) 823-7668. Thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely, Hannah Cheng
