Patrick Thatayaone Mokgethi

A conscientious and dedicated professional with extensive experience in laboratory and research fields. A highly organized and efficient individual who can prioritize his work to ensure deadlines are met while maintaining a high standard of analysis and insight. This high-performing individual can work well under pressure, consistently delivering excellent, quick, accurate results. I am self-motivated and thus work very well independently but I am just as resourceful working in a team.
