Summary

I have over five years of experience in the medical field, working at Western Diagnostic Pathology. I started as a Lab Multiskilled Assistant and later progressed to my current role as a Referred Test and SRA Supervisor, where I train staff, manage rosters, and oversee workflow on systems like Siemens Aptio and PVT Rose. Alongside my healthcare experience, I’ve also worked as a support worker, receptionist, bookkeeper, and collector, which has given me strong skills in administration, scheduling, and customer service. I’m currently studying a Certificate IV in Business Management and other related qualifications to expand into administration and management roles, while still open to opportunities in the medical field.
