Summary

Strong communicator with excellent organizational and time management skills. Efficiently manages multiple projects simultaneously while adhering to strict deadlines. Possesses excellent problem-solving skills and ability to think and act quickly to find creative solutions.

After dedicating over 20 years to managing laboratories in remote minesites and other locations, I took a break to care for my terminally ill husband, whom recently passed away .

I am currently seeking new opportunities to broaden my expertise and take on fresh challenges, I am particularly interested in a job that values compassion and allows me to apply my skills in an environment where empathy is valued.
