What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to gain hands-on experience in laboratory techniques and contribute to genetic research.

I am a dedicated laboratory intern with hands-on experience at CESAM in Abidjan, where I developed a strong understanding of medical analysis operations. My internship allowed me to work across various departments, enhancing my skills in multitasking and presentation preparation. I pride myself on my ability to adhere to deadlines and maintain resilience under pressure, which I believe are crucial in a laboratory setting.

Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Genetics at the University of Essex, I am eager to leverage my academic knowledge and practical experience to enhance operational efficiency in future roles. My goal is to contribute to the field of molecular biology and genetic research, utilizing my skills in laboratory techniques and bioinformatics to make a meaningful impact.
