Motivated scientist with solid experience managing all levels of large scale projects, including budgeting and administration. Experienced Scientist professional with strong leadership and relationship-building skills. Meticulous Medical Technologist, excellent at juggling multiple tasks and working under pressure. Broad industry experience in Healthcare-Laboratory systems. I in chemistry and microbiology procedures in accordance with established procedures and policies. I record and report results, operate and maintain equipment used in the laboratory, monitor quality control standards, evaluate new instruments and tests, perform clerical and service duties as needed. I use laboratory equipment to analyze patient\'s specimen following standard operating procedures accurately in an efficient and organized manner while using common sense applications to monitor the condition and state of the samples used. All procedures used must be updated as required and need a continuous demonstration of competence in all assigned areas. I also serve as a good technical resource for technicians and associates when any questions arise. All test reports I generate must be accurately reported in writing, orally or through the laboratory information system (LIS) in a timely manner which requires that my skills and knowledge demonstrated in LIS be updated as required when any new software or technology is introduced into the organization. All completed tests must follow all established guidelines for reporting of STAT results and critical values while document all calls made to clinical staff. I perform equipment and instrument maintenance every shift, on a weekly and monthly basis according to protocols, following the recommended manufacturer\'s and/or department defined instrument performance checks and calibrations prior to running any tests. Perform troubleshooting as required and resolve any basic instrument malfunctions using written guidelines. I will also make changes or minor repairs with the aid of instrument manuals or technical service by telephone when required. Monitor supply inventories in assigned areas to make sure that there is adequate availability. I also receive and stock supplies. I perform quality control (QC) by evaluating and reporting, identifying and resolving QC failures and documenting resolutions. Assist Technicians and associate with unresolved problems, perform competency and proficiency challenges in a timely manner and at the same time, being responsible for efficient and appropriate use of supplies and reagents. I advocate for patient\'s safety by speaking up when a team member appears to exhibit unsafe behavior or performance, and by continuously validating and verifying information needed for decision making or documentation. I would always stop in the face of any uncertainty to take a little time to resolve a situation before proceeding. By so doing, I demonstrate accurate, clear and timely verbal and written communication since they can play a significant role in keeping patients safe. Not only do I promote this safety culture for patients, I do the same for families, visitors and co-workers. I assist in the training of new employees and serve as a technical designee in competency testing of staff. Write and update procedures as assigned, and upholds to the core principles of the organization by committing to diversity and recognizing the value of cultural/ethnic differences, and by demonstrating personal and professional integrity and maintaining confidentiality always. Analyze and review scientific data, evaluating scientific and technical efficacy and safety. Review technical data generated with respect to accuracy, precision, and reliability.
