KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and reliable School Laboratory Technician with four years of hands-on experience supporting science departments in secondary and junior secondary school settings. I specialize in preparing chemical reagents, setting up practical experiments across biology, chemistry, and physics, and maintaining laboratory equipment to ensure smooth lesson delivery.
I have led lab operations at a junior secondary school, managing inventory, enforcing lab safety protocols, and collaborating closely with teachers to align practicals with the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), which improved student engagement and participation. My training includes a Certificate in Science Laboratory Technology and practical attachments that strengthened my technical skills and safety practices.
I am disciplined, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure, with basic first aid training and competency in MS Word and Excel. I am committed to promoting student curiosity in science while upholding school health and safety regulations.
