I like new challenges that provide an opportunity for me to combine my technical skills and personable nature with my inventive approaches to problem solving. I have experience in supporting both creative and technical departments. I have worked for cosmetic, flavor/fragrance, reference material companies, and contract testing labs. I have been very lucky to have worked as a part of some great large teams, as well as had an opportunity to be an analytical expert for a couple of organizations. My Specialties include: fragrance De-formulation, quantitative and qualitative method development and validation. I am also versed in raw material, finished product and food analysis. My experience as a profession scientist also includes customer relations, vendor evaluation and general long term/ short term project management. I have worked with GC, GCMS, HPLC/UPLC, Wet Chemistry, some Distillation, FT-IR, and various extraction techniques.
