What I'm looking for

I seek laboratory roles in food or pharmaceutical testing that offer technical growth, collaborative teams, and opportunities to apply bioinformatics and QC expertise.

I am a dedicated biotechnologist with hands-on experience in microbiological and physicochemical analysis across food and pharmaceutical laboratories. I bring practical laboratory skills from internships and roles at TECNOVA, Laboratorio Analítico Bioclínico (L.A.B.), and CHEMO.

My training includes a Biotechnology degree and multiple specialized certifications in bioinformatics, Python, data analysis, and occupational risk prevention. I have applied protocols for detection of pathogens such as Salmonella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Listeria monocytogenes, and performed plate seeding, media preparation, and physicochemical testing.

I am proficient with laboratory instrumentation including infrared spectroscopy and experienced in quality control procedures for pharmaceutical materials. I combine technical competence with strong communication, scientific writing, and a commitment to ethical, responsible practice.

I am enthusiastic, proactive, and focused on continuous growth—seeking roles that leverage my lab experience, bioinformatics training, and problem-solving abilities to contribute to high-quality testing and research environments.
