What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow in health care while making a positive impact on patients' lives.

I am a passionate health care professional with a strong foundation in phlebotomy and psychosocial counseling. My journey began at Boitekanelo College, where I earned my Phlebotomy Certificate in 2021, followed by further training at the Handsworth Institute of Health Sciences & Technology, completing my Health Care Assistant program in 2023.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience through volunteer positions at Princess Marina Health Laboratory and Kgatelopele Clinic. My roles have included providing essential health care services, first aid, and psychosocial support to patients. I am committed to maintaining confidentiality and delivering results-oriented care while working collaboratively within a team.
