What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead or support clinical and public health laboratory initiatives involving diagnostic operations, quality systems, technology implementation, training, validation, and process improvement.

I've led microbiology, immunology/virology, and parasitology operations at UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, implementing diagnostic tests, technologies, workflows, QA/QC programs, and laboratory information system improvements.

Across UC Davis, IDEXX Laboratories, Quest Diagnostics, and public health laboratories, I've supported infectious disease diagnostics, validation, regulatory readiness, troubleshooting, technical training, and cross-functional initiatives. I'm a California Public Health Microbiologist and Lean Six Sigma Greenbelt focused on practical laboratory systems that improve quality and operational efficiency.
