What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue applying chemistry and laboratory analysis skills in a quality-focused environment with opportunities to support compliance, validations, and team training.

I maintain quality documentation and SOP compliance, support data packet review, train coworkers and interns, and assist other labs with workload and validations. My work includes regulatory compliance with EPA, CLIA, TNI, and ISO 17025 standards.
