What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on laboratory roles where I can apply molecular diagnostics and QC expertise in a safety-focused, compliance-driven clinical or environmental lab, with opportunities for technical growth.

I am an analytical, detail-oriented microbiologist with hands-on experience in molecular diagnostics, microbial identification, and clinical chemistry. I deliver high-precision PCR workflows and maintain contamination control in fast-paced laboratory environments.

In my current role as a Medical Laboratory Analyst, I perform diagnostic testing across Biochemistry, Microbiology, Virology, Immunology, Hematology, and Molecular Diagnostics, while operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting laboratory instrumentation.

I prioritize biosafety, rigorous QC, and documentation for regulatory compliance, conducting environmental monitoring and ensuring sample integrity across high-volume workflows.

I am committed to producing accurate, evidence-based diagnostic outputs, managing reagent inventory, and supporting efficient laboratory operations through strong technical skills and attention to detail.
