About me:

I am a hard worker, punctual and love to work in a team. I have approximately 24 years’ experience as a medical technologist. I cope well under stress, and tend to take the lead if there is a problem, and try to sort it out as soon as possible. I like to feel that a person can turn to me when there is a problem and help them sort it out. I enjoy the role of support.

If it is required that I write an exam or study further, I will of course do this. I am particularly interested in the analysis of animal blood, so would like to continue in a vet laboratory if possible. I intend to study further in this field.

Immediate requirements:

I would like to work in or around the area of Melbourne, as a medical technologist/assistant. If possible I would like to work from the 15th of November onwards. Please feel free to contact me via email.

Kind Regards

Natasha Fleming
