Recent biochemistry graduate passionate about biomedical research and quality control.
What I'm looking for
As a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry & Cellular and Molecular Biology, I am deeply passionate about advancing biomedical research and enhancing quality control in healthcare. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in laboratory techniques and patient care, complemented by my leadership experience as President of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. I am eager to apply my analytical skills and dedication to improving healthcare outcomes through a PhD program.
During my time as a Certified Pharmacy Technician at Walgreens, I processed over 100 prescriptions daily with a remarkable 99% accuracy rate. My role involved administering immunizations and ensuring compliance with pharmacy regulations, which significantly enhanced patient safety and wellness. Furthermore, my experience as a Server at Olive Garden honed my customer service skills in a fast-paced environment, where I maintained a 98% order accuracy rate during peak hours.
Currently, I serve as a Toxicology Technologist at Champion Healthcare, where I conduct complex toxicology tests and manage daily laboratory operations. My commitment to quality control and compliance with industry standards ensures that I contribute effectively to clinical decision-making. I am excited about the opportunity to further my education and research in the biomedical field, where I can make a meaningful impact.
