What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a position in an organization that offers security and professional growth while I’m resourceful, innovative, and flexible—using my plant biotech expertise and manuscript editing skills to deliver timely, high-quality results.

I’m a Ph.D. in Plant Biotechnology with deep expertise in micro propagation and plant physiology, focused on medicinal plants and agricultural crop breeding. Through my research work, I’ve developed strong hands-on capability with molecular biology methods and conventional analytical tools to conduct and analyze laboratory assays with accuracy and consistency.

I bring a hybrid strength that combines scientific rigor with scientific communication. I have experience in content writing, editing, and reviewing of scientific manuscripts, along with excellent laboratory skills and dependable delivery of high-quality, timely lab procedures—even under pressure and time constraints in high-volume environments.

I’ve also shared my expertise through teaching undergraduate and postgraduate Botany and Biotechnology students, including conducting and managing field trips. In addition to laboratory and research roles, I’m comfortable working across teams and environments, always staying resourceful, innovative, and flexible—just as I aim to do in my next position.
