What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply diagnostic expertise and quality systems leadership in a collaborative lab focused on patient care, professional growth, and continuous improvement.

I am a dedicated Medical Laboratory Scientist with hands-on experience across clinical chemistry, microbiology, hematology, histology, parasitology, virology, and blood transfusion services. I deliver accurate, timely diagnostic results while maintaining strict adherence to quality control, biosafety, and documentation standards.

Throughout my career I have served in roles from intern to Head of Laboratory, leading SOP development, equipment maintenance and calibration, internal QC and participation in EQA, and managing laboratory operations and IPC committees. I have prepared blood products, performed crossmatching and HIV testing, and communicated verified results to clinicians.

I am proficient with LIMS and Microsoft Office, comfortable in high-pressure environments, and committed to continuous professional development and improving laboratory efficiency and patient care.
