## About Me

I am a laboratory professional with a background in biomedical research and experience in molecular biology, microbiology, and analytical laboratory techniques. My work has included RNA and DNA extraction, PCR and qPCR analysis, cell culture, fermentation, and laboratory data analysis, contributing to research projects in cardiovascular disease and gastrointestinal microbiology.

In addition to my scientific career, I spent nearly ten years managing my own business, where I developed strong leadership, organisational, and problem-solving skills while overseeing daily operations and leading teams. This experience strengthened my ability to work under pressure, adapt quickly to new challenges, and deliver consistent results.

I am now returning to the life sciences field with renewed enthusiasm, combining my technical laboratory expertise with the practical skills I gained as a business owner. I am detail-oriented, eager to learn, and committed to maintaining high standards of quality, accuracy, and collaboration. I enjoy contributing to meaningful scientific work and am motivated by opportunities to support research, diagnostics, and innovation.
