What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute to quality assurance and process improvement in industrial or environmental settings, bringing rigorous lab safety, accurate water/chemical testing, and data-driven reporting to support reliable compliance and continual lab optimization.

I am a dedicated and results-driven Chemist with exceptional analytical, research, and quality control expertise. From my Kisii University BSc in Chemistry to lab experience spanning environmental water analysis and industrial lab management, I apply scientific principles to real-world challenges with a strong focus on accuracy and safety.

I oversee laboratory operations by preparing reagents, calibrating instruments, enforcing safety compliance, and maintaining detailed records. I also compile and interpret analytical datasets using Excel and SPSS, mentor students, implement innovative lab protocols, and streamline testing procedures to improve turnaround times and data integrity.
