What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical laboratory role emphasizing accurate specimen handling, quality control, teamwork, and opportunities to apply phlebotomy and blood bank expertise within a patient-focused environment.

I am a dedicated Medical Laboratory Technician and Certified Phlebotomy Technician with over three years of clinical laboratory experience, specializing in venipuncture, specimen processing, and blood bank procedures.

I have hands-on experience across hematology, chemistry, microbiology, and blood bank environments, having worked in hospital and pathology lab settings where I ensured specimen integrity and compliance with safety protocols.

My academic background includes a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology, a B.S. in Microbiology, and advanced graduate study in healthcare administration and project management, demonstrating a blend of clinical skill and administrative understanding.

I am collaborative, detail-oriented, and committed to quality control and patient-centered service, seeking to contribute reliable laboratory operations and strong infection-control practices to a healthcare team.
