What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining laboratory and operations responsibilities where I can apply chemistry, inventory control, and data management skills while contributing to process improvement and team training.

I am a detail-oriented chemist and operations professional with extensive experience in chemical batch preparation, laboratory equipment maintenance, inventory control, logistics, and quality assurance. I have held roles across manufacturing, healthcare, retail logistics, and publishing, consistently improving processes and maintaining compliance and accuracy.

My background blends technical laboratory skills with strong data entry, project management, and communications capabilities, including writing and editing. I bring proven experience training staff, managing databases, coordinating shipping and warehousing, and supporting customer-facing sales and administrative functions.
