About
A highly motivated, confident and mature final year PhD student who has graduated with First Class Honours in B.Sc.(Hons) Biotechnology. I am a post-graduate student with excellent skills in research, communication, systematic planning, problem solving, capable of meeting datelines, able to work under pressure and has aseptic laboratory techniques in biotechnology and microbiology. I aspire to pursue a career in the scientific field to utilize, further improve my skills and contribute to the developing world of science. Having gained some experience working in the laboratory while conducting my research project, I have decided to hopefully pursue a research career in the scientific field.
