What I'm looking for

I seek a research or clinical laboratory role where I can apply microbiology skills, contribute to public health research, and grow professionally in a collaborative, safety-focused environment.

I am a motivated microbiology graduate with hands-on experience in microbial culture, isolation, biochemical testing, and environmental microbiology research.

I have supported laboratory operations across analytical, pharmaceutical, and hospital settings, maintaining strict adherence to GLP/GMP and safety protocols while preparing media, reagents, and sterile equipment.

My research work includes isolation, characterization, and antibiotic susceptibility studies on fermented foods, and I have practical experience in sequencing, gel electrophoresis, and basic bioinformatics.

I combine technical lab skills with data analysis (SQL, Power BI, Python) and strong attention to detail to deliver reliable results and contribute to public health and research objectives.
