Imani Downer
@imanidowner
Detail-oriented phlebotomist with clinical and donor expertise delivering safe, accurate venipuncture and patient-centered care.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented phlebotomist with several years of hands-on experience in clinical and donor settings. I focus on accuracy, safety, and comfort during venipuncture, consistently delivering reliable specimen collection and lab-ready documentation.
In my roles, I’ve performed venipuncture, vital-signs support, and donor monitoring, with strong readiness to respond to adverse reactions. I manage fast-paced workflows by handling patient intake, insurance verification, scheduling, and payment processing while coordinating communication between patients, physicians, and nursing staff.
I bring proven lab procedure expertise, including specimen collection, labeling, centrifugation, and EMR documentation, while following HIPAA and lab protocol requirements. I’m also highly experienced with apheresis setup and centrifuge operation, and I maintain compliance through careful equipment calibration and sterile, patient-centered care—reducing anxiety and improving cooperation.
