What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role where I can apply laboratory expertise and quality-control skills in a structured team, with clear procedures, opportunities to learn, and reliable shift patterns.

I am a detail-oriented laboratory and quality-control professional with over six years of experience in high-accuracy, fast-paced technical roles across clinical, water-treatment, and gemology settings.

I have applied strict procedural standards to deliver consistent, accurate results — from conducting clinical specimen testing to analyzing water quality and grading diamonds to GIA protocols.

My achievements include sustaining high production rates under pressure while maintaining accuracy, implementing quality-control checks, and operating specialized lab instrumentation to ensure regulatory and industry compliance.

I am reliable, adaptable, and collaborative, committed to maintaining organised work areas, following established procedures, and supporting teams to meet tight schedules and exacting standards.
