CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK & AREAS FOR GROWTH
To prepare for a progression into a Laboratory Supervisor or Lead Technologist role, Tessa should focus on the
following developmental areas:
Advanced Instrument Troubleshooting:
While Tessa is excellent at clearing basic jams, she should seek
cross-training from our clinical engineers to understand the deeper fluidic and optical alignment mechanics of our
core mass spectrometers, allowing for more complex in-house repairs.
Inventory Forecasting:
Tessa effectively monitors current stock, but she should elevate her inventory
management to a strategic level. By analyzing seasonal testing volume trends, she can proactively forecast
reagent burn rates, ensuring the procurement team orders bulk lots ahead of global supply chain shortages.

FUTURE ROADMAP & LABORATORY GOALS (FY2027)
Goal 1 (Professional Certification):
Enroll in and successfully attain the Medical Laboratory Technician,
MLT(ASCP) certification by the end of Q3 to formalize her diagnostic expertise.
Goal 2 (Cross-Training):
Complete a 4-week rotational cross-training program in the Molecular Biology
department to gain proficiency in PCR amplification and nucleic acid extraction.
Goal 3 (Safety Leadership):
Serve as the designated Shift 1 Safety Officer, leading the monthly chemical
spill and biohazard response drills for all bench staff.
Goal 4 (SOP Standardization):
Lead the annual review and update of the laboratory’s "Cold-Chain Custody
and Reagent Storage Playbook," ensuring alignment with the latest CLIA guidelines.
