Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry (chromatography/mass spectrometry) from Brigham Young University (BYU, Provo, Utah). Currently work in Research and Discovery (R&D) in the health and wellness field, including dietary supplements, personal care/cosmetics, and essential oils. Previous experience includes 8 years in the dietary supplement laboratory and QC/QA quality space, as well as 17 years in the fields of pharmaceutical drug development and analysis (Bioanalytical/PKPD), and portable analytical instrumentation development and marketing (portable GC/MS). I enjoy and excel in challenging environments which operate under FDA oversight such as cGXP, including both cGMP (manufacturing) and cGLP (laboratory). My management style highlights allowing employees to self-govern together with structured and collaborative oversight.
