At UCLA, I lead pre-clinical and clinical laboratory operations, overseeing safety, procurement, regulatory compliance, and administrative functions. I’ve delivered 19% cost savings through inventory optimization, increased operational efficiency by 23%, and developed protocols that reduced errors by 37%.
I’ve supervised teams of up to 54 people, trained more than 175 lab assistants, and managed employee onboarding, offboarding, resource allocation, budgets, and operations across three offsite labs. I use data-driven process improvement and rigorous UCLA EHS, CalOSHA, Institutional Biosafety Committee, and Animal Research Committee standards to support reliable research and patient care outcomes.
