What I'm looking for

I am seeking healthcare roles where I can expand clinical and laboratory skills, contribute to patient care, and grow into operations or quality-management responsibilities.

I am a dedicated healthcare technician with hands-on experience in phlebotomy, specimen collection, and laboratory support. I hold certifications including Certified Phlebotomy Technician, Registered Pharmacy Technician, and Certified Medical Laboratory Assistant.

I have performed specimen collection for DNA and drug testing, managed patient documentation and data entry, and supported clinical workflows in outpatient and lab settings. I am comfortable with electronic health records and specimen processing.

I bring strong critical thinking, communication, and research skills, and I complete clinical tasks such as medication dispensing support, sterile swabbing, and specimen packaging with accuracy. I am quick to learn new procedures and quality-management practices.

I am seeking opportunities to grow my healthcare skills, contribute to clinical teams, and apply my training in quality management, operations, and brain-health practices to improve patient outcomes.
