What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and values teamwork in a laboratory setting.

I am a passionate Medical Laboratory Technician with a strong background in microbiological testing and laboratory operations. Currently, I work at Northwest Regional Health, where I perform a variety of tests, including culture setup and organism identification, while ensuring compliance with safety and infection control standards. My hands-on experience in blood bank operations and routine laboratory tests has equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in fast-paced environments.

Previously, I served as a Laboratory Assistant, where I honed my skills in specimen collection and quality control checks. My journey in the medical field began as a Laboratory Technician at Urgent Care Northwest, where I managed lab equipment and performed critical tests. I hold an Associate of Applied Science in Medical Laboratory Technology and am ASCP certified, which underscores my commitment to maintaining high standards in laboratory practices.
