What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my analytical skills in a collaborative environment, with opportunities for professional growth and development.

I am a motivated and adaptable Physics and Science Laboratory undergraduate with a strong foundation in both practical and academic physics. My experiences have equipped me with professional and technical skills that I have developed through various roles in university and the field. I approach my work methodically and with a customer-focused mindset, always driven to see projects through to completion.

During my time as a Research Assistant at the Kenya Medical Research Institute, I created microbial cultures and isolated Vibrio cholerae samples, while also maintaining laboratory equipment. My volunteer work with the Kenya Red Cross allowed me to assist in field interviewing and provide health assistance to refugees, showcasing my commitment to community service. Additionally, my role as a Metrology Officer at the Kenya Bureau of Standards involved calibrating industrial equipment and performing uncertainty calculations, further solidifying my technical expertise.
