About

Skilled scientist with an engineering background and six years of experience in an FDA regulated industry. In that time, I have demonstrated expertise in process scale-up, process improvement, assay development, and working cross functionally to validate manufacturing equipment and processes through factory acceptance testing and IQ, OQ, and PQ. Additionally, I have an established track record of independently designing experiments to achieve project goals ahead of schedule, driving manufacturing change controls, and generating highly reproducible datasets.
