Available to hire
I am a Fiji-born biomedical scientist and health researcher with hands-on experience in laboratory work, field data collection, and public health projects across the Pacific. I value accuracy, teamwork, and clear communication, and I enjoy translating complex findings into practical insights that can improve health outcomes.
Outside the lab, I tutor biology and chemistry for high school students, love nature and gardening, and I am adept at juggling multiple roles—from research officer to project assessor—while maintaining a friendly, proactive approach.
