What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my analytical skills and contribute to a team focused on compliance and quality in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated and hardworking individual currently working as a Tankered Trade Waste Technician for Severn Trent Water. Over the past 20 months in this role, I have developed strong time management skills and the ability to work effectively under pressure. My focus on compliance and health and safety regulations ensures that I maintain high standards in my work. I thrive on challenges and enjoy working both independently and as part of a team.

My previous experience as a Medical Laboratory Assistant at Nuffield Health has equipped me with valuable analytical skills, particularly in microbiology and quality control. I have a solid foundation in clinical biochemistry and have conducted research on the effects of COVID-19 on students' mental health during my studies at De Montfort University. My educational background in Biomedical Science, combined with my practical experience, has prepared me to excel in various lab-based and customer-oriented environments.
