What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth and allows me to apply my skills in a dynamic healthcare environment.

I am a dedicated medical technologist with hands-on experience in clinical and hospital laboratory settings. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology from Far Eastern University, where I developed a strong foundation in laboratory practices. I have completed internships and roles that have equipped me with essential skills in various laboratory sections, including phlebotomy and sample preparation.

During my internship at James L. Gordon Memorial Hospital, I rotated through all eight sections of the tertiary laboratory, gaining valuable experience with advanced equipment such as the UriSed II and Vitek 2. I pride myself on my ability to establish rapport with patients and colleagues, contributing to a collaborative work environment. My current role at Crystal Health Laboratory and Clinic further enhances my expertise, allowing me to apply my knowledge in real-world scenarios while ensuring quality healthcare delivery.
