Demonstrated Skills
Pathological sample/mechanical preparation skills
Organising preparation benches
Aseptic techniques
Culturing bacteria on different types of agar plates depending on the type of sample.
Cutting up tissue samples and culturing it
Making sure the right sample is prepared precisely
Following Good Laboratory Practice and OH&S procedures
Using different types of electronic devices and programming them to Laboratory protocols
Performing quality controls for stains, spot tests and calibrating devices
Safety work by international regulations and standards
Problem Solving Skills / Initiative
Problem solving is part of my everyday routine whether it can a sample preparation error or a
mechanical error that has given the wrong results. Investigations and protocols are put in place to make
sure errors are always handled and solved quickly as possible otherwise it could affect the patient results
and health. Contacting clinicians and other medical staff from different laboratories is part of my roll to
make sure every sample is received, checked, prepared and results are sent out as professionally and
efficiently as possible. Also informing management and other supervisors about recommendations and
new ideas that will help improve the quality of work. Part of my role is to come up with a solution to a
problem on the spot and solve it accordingly.
Computer Skills
Microsoft office, Excel, power point, project, front page.
The Ultra system in the laboratory
Entering results in the system
Validating results
Printing out late lists
Writing reports using different systems
Communication
Fluent and captive oral presentations at university for projects throughout the study tenure and by
leading, motivating and delivering with the group at most occasions. Communicating with different
staff members and supervisors to come up with solutions.
Leadership & Teamwork
I was a Team leader at specimen reception where I have team led a group of staff and making sure
everyone is working efficiently and meet deadlines. Also teaching staff to work as a team, without
feeling the need to supervise them constantly. I have contributed to organising rosters for staff and
putting different staff members on particular benches depending on the experience that they possess.
