Summary
"As a dedicated lab technician with experience in two different roles, I have developed a strong foundation in molecular and cellular biology. Through my work, I have honed my skills in conducting experiments, analyzing data, and maintaining laboratory equipment. I take pride in my attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate results. I am eager to contribute my expertise in a dynamic research environment where I can continue to expand my knowledge and make a meaningful impact in the field of biology." I have experience working with a wide variety of people from different cultures. I am a worker with proven time management and good communication skills which I have developed from university and volunteering engagements. In recent years I have gained a lot of experience and developed customer services skill whilst working in a retail environment. I have strong interpersonal skills, enhanced by taking part in University activities to develop my confidence and communication. I understand general employability skills and the importance of working in a team, learning from others and developing as a professional. Being a young African woman there are a lot of challenges we face but I am willing to overlook these and change people’s perspective. If I am given the opportunity for this role I will be able to break barriers and change the stereotypes often associated with being an African woman. Furthermore, I do my best to lead by example and would love to work in an organisation where our values align, allowing me to contribute to the community and our ever-changing future.
