What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can apply my nutritional biochemistry training, laboratory sampling, and accurate testing to support patients or research teams, with strong initiative, teamwork, and confidentiality.

I’m a Nutritionist and Biochemist with expertise in research, laboratory investigations, and sampling, combining strong analytical drive with practical lab work. I’m trained to work confidently with instruments such as centrifuge, chemistry machines, and microscopes.

In my most recent role as a Front Desk Officer/Laboratory Assistant, I managed patient registrations, updates, billing, and concerns while ensuring confidentiality and satisfaction. I also prepared and labeled samples (blood, stool), carried out laboratory tests (chemistry, hematology), and operated laboratory equipment; I’ve additionally trained newly employed staff.

My background includes a PGD in Nutritional Biochemistry (Distinction) and a BSc in Biochemistry, with an M.Sc. in Nutrition and Dietetics in-view. Beyond healthcare, I’ve built coordination and leadership experience through internship and a Supervisor role in solar installations, and I’ve earned “Excellent Award” recognition through community service leadership.
