As an APS6 Scientific Evaluator at the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), I played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of therapeutic products in Australia. My responsibilities included performing pre-market and post-market evaluations to assess the manufacturing quality of all vaccines and other therapeutic products, such as anti-venoms and toxins. These products were not only approved for supply within Australia, but also those manufactured in and exported from Australia. This role required a keen eye for detail, strong analytical skills, and a deep understanding of biomedical manufacturing processes. My work at the TGA ensured that therapeutic products met stringent quality standards, contributing to the health and safety of the public.

As a dedicated and detail-oriented scientist, I worked both independently and as part of a team to collect nasal samples from beef feedlots. These samples were carefully transported back to the lab for further analysis. I prepared the samples for DNA extraction using automated liquid handling systems and utilized Myra and Mic Real-time PCR machines for analysis. The data obtained was then analyzed using Microsoft Excel and GraphPad Prism 9.0.0. Beyond the lab, I coordinated various activities that included project planning, inventory stock take, consumable budgeting, ordering, and travel arrangements. I also conducted market research and engaged with both internal and external stakeholders to ensure smooth project progression.

As a dedicated PhD researcher in Biomedical Science, I honed my skills in reviewing and identifying gaps in literature, formulating research questions, and conducting systematic investigations to establish facts and reach new conclusions. My laboratory skills were broad and included the characterisation of plant-derived bioactive compounds using ultra performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, in vitro analysis of starch digestibility, and cell culture techniques with various cell lines. I was proficient in molecular biology techniques and flow cytometry. In terms of data analysis, I conducted it using Microsoft Excel and GraphPad Prism 9.0.0. I also managed inventory stock take, consumable budgeting, and ordering. My role required managing stakeholder expectations, both internal and external. Additionally, I gained experience in presenting at conferences, drafting, and publishing journal articles, demonstrating my ability to communicate complex scientific information effectively.

As a Chemistry Demonstrator, I played a pivotal role in shaping the practical understanding of students. I conducted demonstrations to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of chemistry. My responsibilities extended to mentoring students through their own experiments, ensuring they understood the procedures and safety protocols. I educated students about the proper handling and disposal of chemicals, instilling in them a strong sense of laboratory safety. I was also responsible for the preparation and maintenance of the laboratory for classes. This included setting up necessary equipment and ensuring all materials needed for the experiments were available. In addition to these duties, I assisted in grading lab reports and other assessments, providing constructive feedback to students. This role required a deep understanding of chemistry, strong communication skills, and a passion for teaching. It was a rewarding experience that allowed me to contribute to the education of future scientists.

During my placement as a Biomedical Scientist at Austin Hospital, I had the opportunity to work in several departments, each with its unique set of responsibilities. In the Respiratory Department, I conducted various breathing and allergy tests. In the Cardiology Department, I conducted and analysed ECG tests related to heart health. In the Sleep Department, I conducted sleep studies to diagnose and treat sleep disorders (e.g. sleep apnea). In the Neurology Department, I conducted EEG tests and research related to brain and nerve conditions. In all departments, I maintained high standards of practice, adhered to safety protocols, and stayed updated with the latest research. I worked closely with a multidisciplinary team to provide the best patient care.
