What I'm looking for

I seek a role in clinical diagnostics or biomedical research where I can apply lab techniques and clinical documentation, learn continuously, and contribute to patient care or research outcomes.

I am a dedicated biomedical science graduate with hands-on laboratory training and healthcare documentation experience. I completed a Higher Diploma in Biomedical Science and pursued practical research placements focused on molecular biology and fungal identification.

I have over two years’ experience working as a medical scribe under a cardiologist, which developed my clinical documentation, attention to detail, and multitasking abilities. I also completed a research internship at Genetech and a research placement at the Institute for Research & Development.

My technical coursework includes clinical biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, histology, hematology, microbiology, and laboratory management, complemented by practical laboratory and research project work. I bring quick learning, good computer abilities, and a strong work ethic to clinical and laboratory teams.

I am seeking roles where I can apply my laboratory skills and clinical documentation experience to support patient care, research, or diagnostic services while continuing professional development in biomedical and clinical settings.
