What I'm looking for

I seek a laboratory analyst/technician role in a collaborative, quality-focused environment where I can apply instrumental and wet-chemistry skills, develop analytical methods, and grow into increased responsibility.

I am a dedicated B.Sc. Chemistry graduate from the University of Pretoria with hands-on laboratory experience in textile and agricultural testing, instrument operation, method development, and ISO-aligned quality practices. I have worked as a Laboratory Trainee at TFG (Foschini Group) performing ISO textile tests and maintaining laboratory equipment, and as a Laboratory Assistant at ARC-LNR conducting reagent preparation, essential-oil analyses, and operating refractometers, titrators and polarimeters.

I am self-motivated, goal-oriented and team-focused, with strong communication, data recording and report-writing skills. I seek to transition from laboratory assistant roles to laboratory analyst or technician positions where I can apply and expand my method development, analytical reporting, and quality-management abilities.
