I am a Medical Laboratory Scientist. With a strong foundation in clinical laboratory science, I began my career as a generalist in a local hospital, gaining hands-on experience in various laboratory disciplines. My passion for advanced diagnostic techniques led me to find interest in Flow Cytometry, where I spent some time performing research and contributing to scientific advancements. Now, as an Instructor in a Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) program, I have the privilege of educating and mentoring future laboratory professionals. I teach Immunology and design innovative student laboratory sessions, ensuring that the next generation of scientists is well-prepared to excel in the evolving field of laboratory medicine.
Driven by a commitment to excellence, I bridge the gap between theory and practice, fostering critical thinking and technical expertise in my students.
