Clinical Scientist

Oct 2003 - Sep 2009
Proudly remembered as the Scientist who convinced suppliers to reduce cost or provide free reagents (worth £11,000) when testing stopped due to funding issues... Therefore allowing vital testing (such as prenatal samples) to continue... when I am passionate about something - there's no stoppping me! Carried out genetic testing for various disorders including Cystic Fibrosis, Huntington's Chorea, Haemochtomatosis as well as various colorectal cancers. The best practice guidelines for UK Colorectal Cancer were changed following my observations regarding Asian-specifc MYH mutations. This was presented at the BSHG Conference. Show less

May 2001 - Sep 2003
Starting as a telecanvasser, I worked my way to supervisor using unique selling techniques, always adapting to the situation and enjoying the calls (well most). Highlights include being featured in national company magazine for bringing in top sales revenue for my branch and am still remembered as the canvasser that had a pay scale created just for her! Great fun - loved the cold calling!!! Starting as a telecanvasser, I worked my way to supervisor using unique selling techniques, always adapting to the situation and enjoying the calls (well most).
