What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and a commitment to scientific excellence.

I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biological Science from the University of Guelph, where I developed a strong foundation in microbiological techniques and molecular lab methods. My academic journey has equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in laboratory environments, particularly in microbiology. I am passionate about applying my analytical skills and commitment to lab safety and accuracy in a professional setting.

During my time as a Laboratory Research Assistant, I gained valuable experience in document control, sample tracking, and maintaining a clean laboratory environment. I am proficient in using Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets for data entry and analysis, ensuring that all records are meticulously logged. My exposure to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) has further solidified my understanding of the importance of regulatory compliance in laboratory settings.

In addition to my technical skills, I have honed my communication abilities through various roles, including as a Swimming and First Aid Instructor. I am adept at conveying complex information clearly and effectively, which I believe is essential in any collaborative work environment. I am eager to bring my skills and dedication to the IEH Services Canada team as a Microbiology Laboratory Technician.
