I recentlyhadthe chance to see Gabrielainactionwhenshe transferredfromthe BrukerAuburnfacility
and came to work forour FremontOperationatBrukerDaltonics.Gabriela quicklyestablishedherself as
a punctual and knowledgeable employee willingtogobeyondthe jobdescription.Withhere energyand
enthusiasmforlearning,she quicklylearnedthe LC-MSproductand compliance final testmethods. She
isalso verycapable toread processliterature andfollowthe processexactly. Gabrielawasinstrumental
inrewritingthe Acceptance TestProcedure forthe LC-MSproduct justafterlaunchto ensure test
methodswere simple,accurate,andattainable forrepeatability. She workedwithveryminimal
supervisionandonlyaskedforthe scope of projectsso she couldthendrive the endresult.Gabriela
extendedherknowledge ontothe LC Pumpprocessand procedures,helpingoutwhenextratesttime
was required. Gabrielaalsostepped uptoleadthe teamfor stretchesandperiodswhenthe teamleader
was onvacationand wouldstayafternormal workinghourswhenmaterial shortagesoccurredtoensure
our productionquotawasmet. On more than a few occasions,she wasthere onSunday,testing

It shouldbe notedthatwhena problemarose,Gabrielahadone ortwo possible solutions,always
