Machelle Petit
Senior Laboratory Scientist
(417) 864-1672

Machelle has a Bachelor of Science with an emphasis in Medical Technology. She did her medical internship in Houston, Texas and has been a Medical Technologist since 1987. In 1995 Machelle began working at the Springfield-Greene County Health Department where she has done all the medical testing for the department for 12 years.

In 2008, Machelle was named the Senior Lab Scientist with the merger of the medical and environmental laboratories. She became fully certified to do milk and water testing, along with the medical testing she was previously doing at the health department.

The integration of the two labs has increased the staff, which has made the laboratory a facility that the City of Springfield and Greene County can be proud of.
