What I'm looking for

I seek a laboratory role where I can apply molecular techniques and R-based analysis, grow under mentorship, contribute to research, and work in a collaborative, learning-focused environment.

I am a motivated Biomedical Sciences student with three years of hands-on laboratory and research experience, focused on medical biochemistry and practical molecular techniques.

I have demonstrated competence in precision-based laboratory procedures including PCR, DNA extraction, gel electrophoresis, aseptic techniques, bacterial cultivation, and use of UV spectrophotometry.

I am proficient in data analysis using R and in producing reports with Microsoft Excel and Word; I have also conducted literature reviews, research critiques, and developed research proposals.

I contribute strongly in team settings, mentor peers in outreach activities, and have driven fundraising and awareness projects while earning academic recognition such as a Dean's List award and a scholarship.
