What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a dynamic environment that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in healthcare.

I am a highly motivated individual currently working in histopathology, where I have developed a vast range of skills and experience through my studies and professional roles. My educational background includes an MSc in Cancer Biology from Sheffield Hallam University, where I focused on innovative research projects like targeting non-small cell lung carcinoma using photodynamic therapy. I have a solid foundation in laboratory techniques and a commitment to maintaining high scientific standards.

Throughout my career, I have worked as a Biomedical Assistant in the NHS, where I honed my skills in pre-analytical processing of samples and laboratory procedures. My experience includes working in both the Royal Hallamshire Hospital and Chesterfield Royal Hospital, where I supported scientific staff and ensured compliance with health and safety regulations. I am dedicated to continuous personal and professional development, always eager to learn new skills and take on challenges.
