PERSONAL PROFILE:

A very conscientious graduate (BSc Hons - Pharmaceutical Science) who can be relied upon to ensure all work is completed to the very highest standards. Hands-on experience in a range of analytical development methods; using techniques such as: HPLC, GC and LC to analyse raw materials, intermediaries and finished products. Conversant with conducting stability and degradation studies to support API’s; always complying fully to GMP. Works well within a team, yet equally happy to perform experiments / tests unsupervised, interpret statistical data and reliably provide detailed, very accurate analysis. Consistently strives to improve and better personal performance; a highly organised and self-motivated professional who always looks to meet deadlines and exceed expectations.
