KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Licensed Medical Laboratory Scientist with a Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science and over three years of clinical laboratory experience across county referral, private, and teaching hospital settings. I focus on patient sample collection, analytical testing, and reliable result verification in line with standard operating procedures.
In my roles at Mbagathi County Referral Hospital and Dynapath Laboratories, I received patients and provided consultation on required laboratory tests and profiles. I collected patient samples under specified conditions, analysed samples using SOPs, and verified and dispatched results to patients and clinicians.
I’m strong in quality systems and equipment readiness—running quality controls, calibrating laboratory equipment, and maintaining routine equipment through proper documentation and SOP compliance. I also order and restock laboratory consumables for routine testing, supporting uninterrupted lab workflows.
Through hospital attachments at Kenyatta National Hospital, Nanyuki Teaching and Referral Hospital, and Mother Angela Huruma Hospital, I expanded my exposure across biochemistry, haematology, microbiology, parasitology, immunology, histology, and blood transfusion science. I’m known for attention to detail, sound judgement, and effective communication with patients, clinicians, and the team, including training support when needed.
