Biotechnologist | MSc Candidate | Laboratory Analyst | Specializing in Biochemical Analysis and Postharvest Research

Profile Summary

I am a dedicated Biotechnologist and Chemical Laboratory Analyst with over three years of experience bridging industrial quality control and advanced academic research. Currently an MSc Candidate in Biotechnology at the University of the Western Cape, my expertise lies at the intersection of analytical chemistry, data validation, and postharvest physiology. In my professional capacity at Oschem Chemicals, I have mastered the precision formulation of chemical batches and the execution of rigorous quality control protocols to ensure product stability and regulatory compliance. My work is defined by a commitment to data integrity, operating within GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) and ISO 17025 frameworks to deliver scientifically defensible results.

My ongoing postgraduate research focuses on Postharvest Biotechnology, specifically investigating physiological and biochemical triggers to enhance crop shelf-life and mitigate agricultural waste. This work has equipped me with high-level proficiency in managing complex datasets using Minitab, GraphPad Prism, and Microsoft Excel. With a dual academic background, holding both a BSc (Hons) and a BSc in Biotechnology & Chemistry, I provide a unique interdisciplinary perspective. Whether drafting technical SOPs, conducting deep-dive literature reviews, or performing statistical data validation, I pride myself on meticulous record-keeping and technical accuracy for both academic and industrial stakeholders.
