About

Here’s a corrected and polished version of your introduction: Hi! My name is Iris Hannah. I am a genuine, enthusiastic, and goal-oriented individual with four years of experience in the healthcare field. I am a Registered Medical Technologist in the Philippines. Previously, I worked at a private hospital and an institution-based, free-standing clinical laboratory. My responsibilities extended beyond routine laboratory work and included monitoring and updating clinical laboratory documents, serving as a receptionist for in- and out-patients, performing phlebotomy, and conducting swab tests. Additionally, I managed external quality assurance processes mandated by the Department of Health. As I embark on my journey in Canada, I am eager to pursue career growth and further develop my knowledge and skills in the field of healthcare. I look forward to contributing my expertise while learning and growing professionally along the way.
