At Express Medical Experts, I manage laboratory operations from specimen collection through result reporting, performing high-complexity LC-MS/MS toxicology testing and supporting laboratory startup, instrument validation, and workflow development.

I've supported molecular diagnostics and COVID-19 PCR implementation at River Town Diagnostics and specimen accessioning at Superior Clinical Labs. I bring experience with regulatory compliance, proficiency testing, Department of Health inspections, staff training, LIS workflows, and quality control.
