What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in an accredited clinical laboratory where I can drive quality improvement, implement efficient testing processes, mentor staff, and apply molecular and NGS techniques to improve patient outcomes.

I am an ASCP-certified Medical Laboratory Scientist with nine years of hands-on experience across clinical microbiology, hematology, blood banking, coagulation, immunology, toxicology, biochemistry, and molecular techniques. I hold a Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science and am completing a Master’s in Chemical Pathology.

In my current senior role I organize end-to-end laboratory workflow, validate test results, manage inventory and documentation in LIS, and lead quality-improvement initiatives that reduce turnaround times. I supervise staff and students, perform competency assessments, troubleshoot failures, and ensure adherence to accreditation and safety standards.

I am committed to continuous professional development—recent courses include Next Generation Sequencing and AI techniques—and I bring a pragmatic, patient-focused approach to implementing new testing procedures and maintaining regulatory compliance.
