NOVA CHOPHEL
Queens,NY
Summary
Hardworking and competent Laboratory technologist with extensive 8 years of knowledge in clinical laboratory operations. Punctual and professional, willing to work with colleagues, driven to perform successfully in solitary role or as part of team.
Willing to help others and be a part of the team work for timely execution of specimen processing. Unless emergencies, I do my best to help and volunteer for overtime as requested by Supervisor or Manager.
I believe I am perfect fit for the LT3 position because of the assignment I was fortunate to acquired on Instrument Comparison of Vidas 1 and Vidas 2. I successfully executed that task twice with second attempt without any supervision.
I received successful rating in the last year yearly performance 0f 2023.
