Research and Development with Practical Laboratory Operations

With over a decade of hands-on leadership in biorepository operations, I bring deep expertise in specimen lifecycle management, from collection and processing through long-term storage and distribution. My experience spans building and scaling CAP/CLIA-compliant biobank programs, developing custom LIMS platforms using Python and SQL, managing $2M+ operating budgets, and leading teams of 20+ staff while training over 100 personnel. I hold an MB(ASCP) certification and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and I've maintained a 100% audit pass rate across multiple regulatory inspections. Whether standing up a new biorepository from the ground up or optimizing an established operation, I focus on the intersection of scientific rigor, operational efficiency, and regulatory excellence.
