Dynamic and innovative laboratory professional with a robust foundation in scientific research and practical lab experience. As a General Science student at the University of Manitoba, I have excelled in courses such as basic and biological statistical analysis, worked with samples in chemistry and biochemistry labs, and gained valuable field experience in ecological settings. Complementing my academic background, my roles as a student tutor and volunteer have further refined my communication and mentoring skills, enhancing both my collaborative and independent work capabilities. I bring creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and a commitment to advancing laboratory excellence to every challenge.
I am proficient in hazard identification and classification using the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), allowing me to recognize and assess risks associated with hazardous materials effectively. I have developed strong skills in interpreting WHMIS labels, including understanding signal words, hazard statements, and precautionary measures to ensure safe handling. My experience with Safety Data Sheets (SDS) enables me to extract critical information for proper material storage, handling, and emergency response. I am knowledgeable about Canadian workplace safety regulations and understand the importance of compliance in the safe use and disposal of hazardous substances. Additionally, I am well-prepared to implement emergency response strategies, such as spill management and first aid measures, to mitigate risks in the workplace. My ability to communicate hazard information clearly allows me to contribute to a safe work environment by ensuring that safety protocols are effectively followed and understood by colleagues.
