Morgan Abbott

@morganabbott

Quality Control Technician and Veterinary Assistant focused on compliant lab testing and animal health monitoring.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a lab-focused role where I can run compliant animal potency and safety testing, maintain GMP/SOP documentation, and support biosafety standards—while continuing to grow in quality control and animal health workflows.

I’m a Quality Control Technician with hands-on experience conducting animal potency and safety testing, including laboratory and biomedical challenge studies. I also bring a strong foundation in veterinary support, from clinical observations to specimen collection and medication administration.

At Elanco, I perform animal handling, vaccinations, observations, and blood collection, and I assist with live bacterial/viral challenge studies such as Rabies and Leptospira assays. I prepare laboratory reagents, maintain calibrated equipment, and document results with strict GMP and SOP compliance.

My background as a Veterinary Assistant has sharpened my attention to detail and client-facing communication. I took initial exams, monitored health, administered medications and vaccinations as directed, and supported diagnostic workflows including blood work and radiographs.

I’m motivated by accurate data recording, biosafety and biosecurity practices, and continuous improvement of standard methods. I’m looking for a role where I can apply rigorous quality control skills to animal and laboratory work while growing within a compliant, research-driven team.
