Work History

Medical Laboratory Assistant

Alberta Precision Laboratory
04.2006 - Current

I am holding a temporary assignment as an MLA II on the night shift for a three-month period, and I was instrumental in creating a smooth transition during an unexpected leave of our LAII. I was responsible for the triple upgrade, EPIC downtime, which was the most successful so far. I was responsible for training new hires for the night shift to help facilitate the hiring and training process, which was a challenging balance with the sick calls.

I am an N95 fit tester. I am skilled in data entry, pre- and post-analytic troubleshooting, including answering inquiries, concerns, and clarifications from the units regarding test and blood collection, EPIC super user, staff coaching, and performance conversation.

Works well as part of the team and promotes diversity and inclusion in FMC Accessioning. Adheres to policies, procedures, and confidentiality guidelines. Promotes a respectful environment and accountability. Demonstrates strong leadership and time management skills. Learns and adapts quickly in a fast-paced environment.
