PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

A conscientious, motivated, highly organized, and dedicated professional Medical Laboratory Technician with 10 years of experience in reception, managing, administrating and other laboratory technician roles, with good communication and excellent interpersonal skills, as well as a proven ability to build and maintain a mutually beneficial relationship, currently seeking for a new job. I am proactive in personal development, aiming to enhance versatility and further career aspiration.

I moved to Virginia recently from Albania, accompanying my husband in his job as National Liaising Representative of Albania to NATO Strategic Allied Command for Transformation, Norfolk. I have also lived in London for 4 consecutive years and worked as a phlebotomist for two years. I have spent most of my career working as a laboratory technician in different medical clinics and have gained great experience in the medical field. Adhere to this, I believe that my hard work and experience make me a great asset for this job.
