What I'm looking for

I am seeking research or lab roles where I can apply microbiology skills, field data experience, and data annotation abilities while growing in a collaborative, results-driven team.

I am a Bachelor of Microbiology and Biotechnology graduate with hands-on experience in laboratory isolation, characterization of soil bacteria, and evaluation of antibiotic production.

I have worked in field data collection, quality assessment and reporting, and have performed data annotation tasks labeling named entities and validating machine-learning outputs for Telus International.

My professional background includes customer care and sales roles where I represented organizations, managed customer data systems, and improved client sales volumes by engaging health professionals and procurement contacts.

I bring analytical thinking, independence, teamwork, and strong IT and data-entry skills, and I am motivated to continue developing as a researcher while contributing practical lab and field expertise.
