Meet Sara Almoosawi, Lab Assistant Microbiology/Pathology.
Q: What is your coffee order?
A pretty simple one – a medium chai latte.
Q: What does a typical day look like as the Lab Assistant in Microbiology/Pathology?
A typical day starts off by starting up all the machines and performing their respective internal quality controls and maintenance, setting up each workstation for other staff that will come in later in the day, processing all the different types of samples that come to microbiology and getting them tested as soon as possible and somehow squeezing in lunch!
Q: What do you enjoy most about your role?
I enjoy the variety of what comes through to be tested, starting from the unknown and working through to the most clinically sound answer – or so we hope! And also, the team at Northern Pathology Victoria is by far the best.
Q: How do you like to relax after work?
I typically like to go to the gym after work or take a walk around a scenic lake, or meet up with a foodie friend and if its late-night Friday shopping, that’s where I’ll be!
Q: Do you have a bucket list item? Something you would love to do.
Does getting married count? All jokes aside going to Japan and seeing Mount Fuji would be incredible.
