Summary

An enthusiastic biomedical science graduate eager to develop my skills and knowledge in the field and contribute to team success through hard work, attention to detail and excellent organisational skills. I am skilled in communicating effectively both orally and in writing. Confidence, dependability and good manners are qualities that I believe allow for success in an organisation; qualities that I possess. My positive and friendly personality makes it easy for people to get along with me, as I usually make them feel comfortable. I understand there are still many things to learn and add to my repertoire, so I am incredibly open to exploring new ideas and corrections. Good organisational skills allow me to complete tasks at the due time and to the highest of standards. With a recent degree in biomedical science, I'm looking to continue learning and to take on a role that would further my experience in the field.
