Institutions of which it is part

I am a confident and determined Biologist with a master of research in Cell Biology. I am an industrious scientist with strong will power who finds pleasure in gaining knowledge. I always push myself to achieve at the highest possible because I am aware of the dedication and perseverance successful results require. I enjoy problem-solving and I am extremely goal-oriented throughout all aspects of my career and personal life. I understand the importance of collaborative work so I work easily within a team; however, I can also work well independently. As well as this, I believe I bring enthusiasm and creativity both in my professional and social settings.
