Medical technologist with 8 years in a hospital core laboratory, running chemistry, hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis for a 540-bed hospital processing about 2.4M tests a year. Holds a 0 reportable patient result error record across 8 years, cut critical value notification time from 22 minutes to 9, and led the chemistry analyser validation that raised throughput 30%. Works the bench with the understanding that every result goes to a clinician who will act on it.
Coursework in Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Immunohematology, Microbiology, and Laboratory Management; 12-month clinical practicum.
Also holds a chemistry specialist certification earned in 2023 and completes 36 continuing education credits every 3 years.
- Run chemistry, hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis benches for a 540-bed hospital processing about 2.4M tests a year.
- Cut critical value notification time from 22 minutes to 9 by building a call escalation list and a documented read-back workflow.
- Led validation of 2 new chemistry analysers across 90 assays, raising throughput 30% with 0 findings at the next inspection.
- Performed about 900 tests a shift as a generalist across chemistry, hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis in a 200-bed hospital.
- Maintained a 100% proficiency testing pass rate across 3 years and 24 survey events.
- Cut emergency department troponin turnaround from 58 minutes to 38 by resequencing specimen handling at receipt.
- Completed 1,200 supervised clinical hours across 6 laboratory departments.
- Passed all 6 departmental competency assessments on the first attempt.
- Hired full time before graduation, 1 of 2 students offered a position of 8 in the cohort.
Chemistry Analyser Validation. Led the validation of 2 replacement chemistry analysers across 90 assays, running precision, accuracy, linearity, and reference range studies over 10 weeks and writing the validation summaries, which raised throughput 30% and passed the next accreditation inspection with 0 findings.
Critical Value Workflow. Rebuilt the critical value process with a unit-by-unit escalation list, a read-back script, and a timed log in the laboratory system, which cut notification time from 22 minutes to 9 and produced 100% documented read-back across 4 audits.
Troponin Turnaround. Traced emergency department troponin delays to specimen handling at receipt, introduced a priority rack and a 5-minute centrifuge start standard, and cut turnaround from 58 minutes to 38 at a previous hospital, meeting the 60-minute target 99% of the time.
- Member of a state clinical laboratory science society, attending an annual meeting and 4 webinars a year.
- Volunteer at a community health fair running about 300 glucose and cholesterol screenings a year.
- Guest speaker for a university medical laboratory science programme twice a year.
- Serve as chemistry technical lead for a core laboratory of 28 technologists across 3 shifts.
- Trained 9 new technologists and 6 practicum students on the chemistry and coagulation benches.
- Own the chemistry quality control programme and present monthly quality data to the laboratory director.
