What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities where I can apply polymer expertise, analytical testing, IP intelligence, laboratory operations, and technical training to improve research, quality, safety, and business decisions.

I've led competitive intelligence and patent landscape research, implemented IP data management tools, negotiated services that saved over a million dollars, and managed analytical laboratories using HPLC, DSC, microscopy, ASTM methods, and safety-focused operational controls.
