Summary
My career in biotechnology has provided a strong foundation that will translate well into nursing practice. Working in biotech has strengthened my understanding of human biology and evidence-based decision-making. It has also taught me the importance of accuracy, critical thinking, and adherence to safety protocols when working in healthcare-related environments. These skills will support my ability to provide safe, effective patient care while applying scientific knowledge to clinical situations. Additionally, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams in biotechnology has enhanced my communication and teamwork skills, which are essential components of professional nursing practice. Areas of scientific expertise include oncology, hematology, and infectious disease.
