I am a hardworking, enthusiastic person and would be thrilled to work for the team given its exemplary reputation for quality and innovation.

I work well as a member of a team but am also confident in assuming responsibility for tasks autonomously.

Availability: I am available on weekends. And would like to start as soon as possible.

Willing to travel: 30 miles

Experience: I am currently employed as an Analyst (level 1) at Central Analytical Laboratory, where I am responsible for sample preparation(extraction) in Chromatography department. I have graduated with a Bachelor of Science (honours) degree in Chemistry at the University of the Western Cape and did my research project in the synthesis of functionalized nanoparticles for water treatment.

Both my current job and research project have exposed me to basic practical experience on the use of some characterization techniques such as FT-IR, TEM, SEM, XRD,LC/MS, Spectophotometry, Microwell reader (for ELISA), Discrete Analyser, and ICP.

I received my BSc degree in Chemical Science at the same institution in 2016. Since the beginning of my final year study I have gained work experience as a laboratory assistant at Sensor Laboratory and Organic laboratory to further enhance my technical skills and gain some additional basic laboratory experience. It was a wonderful experience working within these small and very productive teams and I enjoyed assisting the postgraduate students, particularly when performing their experiments.

At these laboratories I was responsible for cleaning the laboratory equipment and putting the chemicals in order and also helping make some solutions when required. I quickly became a valued member of the teams and received some compliments for my attention to detail and work ethic.

I am very proficient in using MS Office programs and LIMS with excellent report writing skills.
