Summary
I was the first employee hired at PSI Labs. I developed most of the prep sheets used originally, as well as helped with SOP development and other documentation needs. I led the cannabis infused product department for 7 years, including process improvement and development of new products. During my last two years, I worked side by side with Confident cannabis to customize our LIMS system used for data reporting and company analytics. I can self-manage timelines, and I work well with other team members. I provide many skills that a laboratory would need to be successful.
