What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to enhance quality assurance processes while collaborating with a team to drive innovation.

I am a dedicated microbiologist with a Master's degree in Microbiology from the University of Karachi. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in microbiological testing and quality assurance practices. During my internship at the Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA), I emphasized the implementation of SOPs and ISO 17025 accreditation, focusing on testing procedures for water, food, and cosmetic samples.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a passion for writing, having authored various articles and unpublished poetry. My final year project involved the detection of biofilm formation in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter sp., showcasing my research capabilities. I am committed to improving quality and efficiency in radiology services and fostering innovation through data-driven strategies.
