What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a clinical or laboratory role where I can support safe, accurate specimen collection and processing, follow patient-safety standards, and continue growing my phlebotomy and EKG experience.

I'm currently processing high volumes of patient specimens at Sherman Abrahams Laboratories, verifying patient information, maintaining accurate labeling, and tracking samples through laboratory information systems.

Previously, I performed venipuncture for pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients at Empire City Laboratories. I'm certified in phlebotomy and EKG, bring hands-on experience with specimen collection and processing, and follow CLIA, OSHA, HIPAA, infection-control, and PPE standards while helping patients feel comfortable.
