What I'm looking for

I seek a laboratory role where I can apply GC/MS and LC‑MS/MS expertise, lead teams, improve QA processes, and advance method development in a safety‑focused setting.

I am a dedicated environmental chemist with 3.5 years of hands‑on experience operating GC/MS and LC‑MS/MS systems to analyze VOCs and PFAS, and in interpreting complex datasets to deliver actionable insights. I have developed and implemented quality control measures, ensured regulatory compliance, and supported laboratory accreditation efforts while optimizing workflows.

As a team lead and acting supervisor, I managed daily VOC department operations, mentored junior staff, handled maintenance and troubleshooting of GC/MS systems, and maintained rigorous sample custody and safety protocols. I combine technical expertise in environmental testing methods with strong communication and organizational skills to produce reliable results and improve lab performance.
