Science has always driven my curiosity, which led me to earn a B.S. in Biology from San José State University and gain hands-on experience in a molecular ecology research lab. That early foundation shaped my interest in laboratory operations, regulated environments, and data-driven problem solving. At Thermo Fisher Scientific, I worked as a Formulation Technician supporting HPLC column production in a GMP-regulated environment. I interpreted and executed standard operating procedures, maintained accurate documentation, and collaborated across teams to troubleshoot technical issues. I take pride in being detail-oriented, audit-ready, and a reliable team member who supports both quality and efficiency. My curiosity naturally expanded into data. As a COOP Data Analytics Fellow, I am strengthening my skills in Excel, SQL, and Tableau to analyze, clean, and visualize complex data sets. I enjoy transforming raw information into clear insights that support decision-making, process improvement, and program outcomes. With experience in laboratory compliance and growing expertise in data analytics, I am open to opportunities across life sciences, public sector, and analytical roles where I can contribute to operational excellence, regulatory integrity, and data-informed solutions. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, hiking new trails, spending time with family, and creative projects like crochet.
Reviewed and verified documentation for 250+ research animals to ensure compliance with internal SOPs and regulatory requirements. Maintained accurate records in internal tracking systems, supporting data integrity, audit readiness, and regulatory compliance. Identified discrepancies in shipment and care logs, collaborated with staff to correct errors, and improved process accuracy. Supported quality assurance by upholding documentation standards across cross-functional teams. Demonstrated attention to detail and strong organizational skills while managing time-sensitive records and procedures.
