Summary

With a Bachelor's in Fisheries and a Master's in Biotechnology, my decade-long research journey encompasses molecular biology, aquatic studies, and now environmental engineering. In my current master's pursuit, I am focused on biofuel production and waste management. This academic expertise, combined with seven years in a molecular diagnostics laboratory, illustrates my dedication to advancing both biological and environmental sciences.
