What I'm looking for

I seek a role in the medical field pertaining to my past 12 years experience as a CCMA, ED Patient Specialist and Allied Health experience. Additional skillset in a regulated lab or clinical setting where I can apply microbiology and QC expertise, contribute to regulatory compliance, mentor teammates, and drive process improvements.

I am a quality control microbiologist with over a decade of experience in clinical settings and regulated laboratory environments, combining hands-on microbiological testing with clinical medical assisting. I maintain strict adherence to GMP/GLP/USP standards and routinely perform environmental monitoring, sterility validations, and aseptic techniques to ensure product and patient safety.

My background includes roles in particulate matter testing, spectrometer operation, specimen collection, nuclear clinic procedures, and leadership tasks such as onboarding new physicians and establishing clinic workflows. I am certified as a CCMA, hold BLS/AED credentials, and have additional training in nutrition, kinesiology, and lab information systems.

I bring attention to detail, strong documentation and technical-writing skills, and a collaborative mindset to cross-functional teams. I focus on troubleshooting deviations, conducting root-cause analyses, and implementing corrective and preventive actions to improve laboratory processes and regulatory readiness.
