What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role that combines microbiology lab work with technical operations support—helping clients with diagnostic reagents while working in SOP-compliant environments, ensuring accurate documentation, and supporting smooth branch workflows.

I’m a Microbiology graduate with hands-on experience in medical, research, and analytical laboratories, including diagnostic laboratory attachment experience. I’m skilled in specimen handling, media preparation, biosafety procedures, and laboratory documentation, and I’ve supported workflows across haematology, microbiology, chemistry, and serology.

In my recent role as a Technical Sales Representative / Branch Operations Support, I supported the supply of diagnostic reagents, consumables, and laboratory equipment, coordinated branch workflow, and supervised one staff member. I’m known for strong organisation, attention to detail, and maintaining accurate records, order tracking, and professional client communication while ensuring SOP compliance and laboratory quality procedures.
