I am a highly organized and dependable Laboratory Assistant with experience working in a high-volume molecular diagnostic laboratory. I have a strong attention to detail and am skilled in handling samples, maintaining laboratory conditions, and ensuring lab cleanliness and safety. I have successfully managed multiple priorities and am always willing to take on additional responsibilities to meet team goals.
In my previous role at Next Biosciences, I maintained documentation on tests performed, tracked samples, and recorded patient sample information onto the Laboratory Information System (LIMS) before processing. I also oversaw lab stock items, inspected laboratory equipment, and ensured a clean and organized laboratory environment for accurate test results. Additionally, I vetted samples upon receiving to ensure they met testing criteria and identified and reported health and safety risks in the lab.
As an Accounts and Administration Assistant at Next Biosciences, I recorded expenses, reconciled invoices, and handled cash payments. I also served as a Teaching Assistant at Naturena Primary School, where I assisted teachers with classroom management, tutored struggling students, and helped with grading assignments and tests. In my role as a Quality Assurance Officer at the Gauteng Department of Education, I recorded and analyzed marking for exam papers to ensure accuracy.
