Quality control scientist with 7+ years driving regulatory-compliant lab testing, documentation, and investigations.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an accomplished scientist with 7+ years of experience leveraging quality control and regulatory compliance to keep laboratory work accurate, inspection-ready, and consistently high quality. At Catalent Pharma Solutions as a Quality Control Associate Scientist II, I performed sterility, bioburden, and microbial limits testing, executed lab schedules with appropriate prioritization for rush testing, and maintained documentation aligned with applicable regulatory guidance and site SOPs. I also remediated minor quality/compliance gaps, drafted analytical results forms and certificates of analysis, and supported deviations and investigations while performing peer review to ensure thoroughness and regulatory alignment.
Before that, I built strong hands-on lab and quality foundations across research and technical environments, including experiments and statistical analysis as a Research Assistant at Kidney Institute KUMC, and routine/non-routine testing, equipment calibration, and quality control as a Laboratory Tech II at Ceva Biomune. Earlier experience in sterile processing and documentation as a Veterinary Assistant strengthened my focus on safe procedures, inventory control, and client-impacting communication—habits I bring into every compliance-critical workflow.
