What I'm looking for

I am seeking a full-time healthcare role focused on primary care, laboratory support, or health promotion where I can grow clinically, contribute to patient outcomes, and work in a collaborative, patient-centered team.

I am a dedicated Health Sciences graduate with practical clinical experience in primary healthcare and laboratory assistance. I have provided basic patient care, conducted health assessments, and supported clinical research during volunteer and practical placements.

My hands-on experience includes checking vital signs, wound dressing, assisting with minor illnesses, conducting HIV testing with pre- and post-test counseling, and delivering palliative care. I maintain accurate patient records and uphold confidentiality and medical ethics.

In laboratory settings I have analyzed specimens, ensured safe disposal of biological waste, calibrated and cleaned equipment, and systematically collected, labeled, and stored samples. I have participated in clinical research and helped facilitate health promotion workshops and group discussions.

I bring strong communication, data-handling, and problem-solving skills, along with teamwork, time management, and adaptability. I am seeking a full-time role in a healthcare environment where I can contribute to improving health outcomes and delivering quality care services.
