What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a motivated individual with a mature and responsible approach to every task I undertake. My experience as a Research Assistant at City Labs in Manchester has honed my ability to record lab tests meticulously, prepare specimens, and analyze data effectively. I thrive in collaborative environments, ensuring that my team stays updated with market advancements and best practices.

In addition to my research experience, I have worked as a Purchasing Assistant at Michael Page, where I raised purchase orders and liaised with stakeholders to enhance supplier performance. My internship with UNDP in Human Rights allowed me to organize events and develop my leadership skills, while my role as a Retail Sales Assistant Manager provided me with valuable experience in team management and operational efficiency. I am always eager to learn and grow in my career.
