@kennedyleach

Molecular Laboratory Technologist skilled in PCR diagnostics, clinical data management, and HIPAA-compliant operations.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute strong technical and administrative skills in a medical office, clinic, or healthcare organization—using my PCR/lab expertise, HIPAA-compliant data handling, and organized patient support to improve accuracy and efficiency.

I’m a detailed-oriented Public Health graduate with a Minor in Epidemiology and hands-on experience in healthcare research and administrative operations. I’m skilled in managing patient records, data entry accuracy, and maintaining HIPAA compliance, with confidence using EMR/EHR systems and supporting medical workflows.

In my role as a Molecular Laboratory Technologist I, I perform molecular diagnostic testing using PCR workflows, processing clinical specimens and operating Bio-Rad CFX and KingFisher Flex instrumentation. I maintain quality control documentation and ensure compliance with CLIA, COLA, HIPAA, and laboratory safety standards, including chain-of-custody practices, assay validation support, proficiency testing, and inventory management.

I also bring strong clinical data experience as a Clinical Data Coordinator, where I review and validate clinical datasets for accuracy and integrity while maintaining HIPAA and IRB compliance. Earlier, as an Intern – Dietetics Lab, I supported nutrition research projects through participant recruitment, data collection/analysis, and accurate record-keeping in REDCap and Excel—always focused on confidentiality, efficiency, and reliable results.
