My Story
My professional journey has been guided by a single, powerful principle: to handle every patient sample with the same care and precision as if it belonged to my own family. This commitment, instilled in me during my earliest days as a student, has been the cornerstone of my decades-long career. I understood then that the results we release in the lab directly shape a physician's decisions and, ultimately, patient outcomes. That is a responsibility I have never taken lightly.
My career began at my alma mater's hospital laboratory in the Philippines, where I started as a junior rotating medical technologist. While the demanding schedule—rotating through day, afternoon, and night shifts across Chemistry, Immunology, Hematology, and Blood Banking—was challenging, it proved to be an incredible foundation. I was even tasked with covering the histopathology lab on Saturdays, an assignment I initially saw as a burden. Yet, without complaint, I embraced it as a chance to learn. Years later, that very histopathology experience enabled me to preserve proficiency slides for staff training at a startup lab. I now look back with immense gratitude for that rigorous training; it gave me a rich, well-rounded expertise that I could never have anticipated.
Those formative years were also where I connected directly with patients—during early morning blood draws and donor screenings in the Blood Bank. These moments reinforced the human element behind every test tube and data point.
My passion for microbiology finally took flight when I moved to the United States, working at a hospital in upstate New York. In an era of many manual processes, this dedication often meant investing extra hours to ensure accuracy. To me, this wasn't just extra work; it was the necessary sacrifice to uphold my mantra and achieve a deep sense of fulfillment.
My path later expanded into leadership and quality assurance, taking on roles as a lab supervisor and QA manager in physician offices and reference laboratories. Here, I gained a panoramic view of the clinical lab world. I participated in inspections, navigated the complexities of regulations and business operations, and honed my skills in managing teams and processes. I thrived on unique challenges, such as leading a laboratory out of technical watch and spearheading the setup of an entirely new toxicology department. These intense projects demanded every ounce of my energy and expertise, and their success brought unparalleled professional satisfaction.
These experiences culminated in a realization: it was time to share this wealth of knowledge on my own terms. Driven by a desire to make a broader impact and help other labs achieve excellence, I launched Clinical Laboratory Scientist Consulting in 2019. Now, I channel my decades of experience into providing strategic guidance to startup and established labs alike.
I am thrilled to continue this journey, striving for excellence and making a difference in the field I am so passionate about. I invite you to reach out—let's see how we can achieve your goals together.
