What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply microbiology and sterile-lab rigor to evidence-based, technical content and quality-driven scientific documentation—ideally in a remote, data-informed environment connected to AI or data-driven initiatives.

I’m a microbiologist and biotechnology professional with a strong academic and practical foundation in microbiology, molecular biology, sterile laboratory operations, and scientific documentation. I translate complex biological concepts into structured written content, and I’m used to working with analytical rigor and attention to detail in highly regulated environments.

Since Apr 2025, I’ve been a Web Content Writer at FoodReady (remote), researching and writing scientifically accurate educational content on food microbiology, foodborne pathogens, contamination control, sanitation, HACCP, and regulatory compliance. I analyze scientific literature and food safety regulations to maintain factual accuracy and data integrity, while collaborating with editorial and technical teams to meet strict quality standards.

Before that, I led sterile laboratory operations as Micropropagation Team Lead at Fall Creek Farm & Nursery (Aug 2024 – Apr 2025). I oversaw aseptic plant tissue culture and contamination prevention procedures, managed quality control and culture health assessment, and documented procedures, production metrics, and quality outcomes with consistency.

I’ve also developed strong remote communication and reporting habits through freelance social media work and administrative roles, and I carry those strengths into my scientific writing. I’m passionate about applying my microbiological expertise to emerging AI and data-driven scientific initiatives.
