Driven and hardworking professional with a proven track record of laboratory competency and reliability, consistently delivering high-quality work. I aim to leverage my aseptic technique skills and intellectual curiosity, building upon my 5+ years of quality control experience in the pharmaceutical industry to transition into the research space.

This summary encapsulates my diverse skills and achievements, highlighting my strengths in science, teamwork, efficiency, drive, work ethic, resourcefulness, quality of work focus, attention to detail and intellectual curiosity.

Acquired laboratory skills and testing techniques more quickly than typical. Mastered sampling of viable and non-viable particles using aseptic technique in controlled environments, achieving faster than the usual six-month timeframe without supervision.

Recognized by managers for consistently focusing on work and collaborating effectively with colleagues. Willingly stay in the lab until all tasks are completed, often taking on additional work to support colleagues during busy periods or when they fall behind.

Conducted environmental monitoring in clean room independently per request, increasing efficiency 100% by eliminating the need for a 2nd person to assist in the process.

Volunteered to execute a protocol for method suitability, eliminating the need for external consultants and ceasing FDA inquiries. Proactively studied pharmacopeia chapters to improve testing methods.

Traveled to Maryland to fill in for a team member. Earned a formal offer to join the Maryland team based on performance during this 2-week period.

When tasked to perform the Installation, operation, and performance qualification of an incubator, I successfully located the unit’s manual after an extensive unsuccessful search by my manager.

Requested by Quality Director to write a risk assessment on drug product contamination, earning praise for the comprehensive report. Requested by Manager to write monthly report, consistently earning praise for their high quality.

Identified instances of critical compliance, and process errors being committed by compounding pharmacists. Prevented two defective batches from reaching the market after they were released by a peer.

Studied protocols in my free time and explained their rationale to technicians. Additionally, I taught microbiology technicians how to perform calculations for preparing serial dilutions, encouraging them when they doubted their ability to learn.

Became an expert in process and microbial investigation. Played instrumental role in finding the root cause of a long-running water system issue (6-month project)

Promoted to Supervisor, overseeing the daily operations of the microbiology laboratory. Served as the Environmental Monitoring Supervisor at a major pharmaceutical company for a short time period.

Computer proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel), Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), Veeva, Simplify 797, Concur, Valgenesis, Kronos, and technical equipment.
