What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and innovation, with opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Medical Laboratory Scientist with a strong focus on immunohematology and HLA. My experience includes advanced serological testing, training new personnel, and authoring procedures that uphold the highest standards of quality in compliance with CLIA, FDA, AABB, CAP, and ASHI. I pride myself on my ability to manage complex laboratory processes while ensuring accuracy and efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated exceptional leadership skills, particularly in my role as Lead Technologist at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Here, I implemented off-shift training and managed team compliance, contributing to improved operational efficiency. My commitment to process improvement is evident in my experience with Six Sigma and Lean principles, which I have applied to optimize laboratory workflows and enhance patient care.

I am passionate about fostering a collaborative work environment and have successfully led projects that involve cross-functional teams. My technical proficiency spans a variety of laboratory instruments and software, enabling me to effectively troubleshoot and maintain quality control. I am eager to continue my professional journey in a role that values innovation and teamwork.
