What I'm looking for

I'm looking to return to the biotechnology industry and contribute my experience and operational expertise to a life sciences organization. I'm available for remote work, with onsite availability in the St. Louis area, and am open to part-time opportunities of approximately 10–30 hours per week or 1099 contract arrangements.

At ASSAYPRO, I directed laboratory, production, and quality-control activities and partnered with the general manager on product improvement. I streamlined workflows and approved products for release.

I prepared, reviewed, and approved documentation for ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality systems, while maintaining OSHA, GLP, GMP, SOP, and product-protocol compliance. I also trained laboratory employees and supported customers and distributors.

After a planned family-caregiving career pause, I'm looking to return to the biotechnology industry. I hold master's degrees in Biochemistry and Biotechnology and in Biotechnology.
