Summary

I have been performing laboratory data validation and laboratory and field data management for over 20 years. I have worked in Oracle and Access databases. Using Access templates and SQL queries for reporting laboratory and field data. I write reports for internal and external use to summarize laboratory results and review, field analysis results, and sampling event summaries. All work involves team work and communication has become critical since I work remotely in my current position.
