Richel Magandi

I am a certified Medical Technologist (ASCPi) and Philippine-licensed laboratory professional with over four years of experience in tertiary and primary hospital settings.

As Senior Medical Technologist and Microbiology Section Head, I supervise microbiological testing, prepare culture media, lead quality control and NEQAS participation, and coordinate infection control—reducing turnaround time by 15% and maintaining 100% compliance with external quality assurance programs.

I also work as a generalist across hematology, chemistry, blood bank, serology, urinalysis, and coagulation, operating analyzers such as Sysmex, BACTEC, Architect i1000 and Mindray while documenting QC logs and mentoring junior staff.

I am passionate about patient-centered laboratory excellence, continuous improvement, and team development, and I seek roles where I can advance quality assurance, training, and laboratory operations.
