Summary

As a dedicated third year BA (Hons) Biomedical Student I am looking to take my classroom and laboratory skills from university into a working laboratory position. Currently as a detail-oriented student I have studied scientific methods and laboratory ethics, and worked critically within teams and alone. Whilst working practically within the laboratories at university I have developed skills in precision measurement techniques, ensuring data entry is accurate and safety compliance is prioritised at all times. I have dealt in cell culture techniques, specimen analysis, and maintaining lab reports, with a commitment to advancing research collaboration and sample handling.

I have continued to work part-time along side my studies to earn an income since being at school, where I have worked in teams and within the public domain.
