I have extremely strong expertise in synthetic organic chemistry and interpretation of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) fragmentation. With a career over 13 years, I have developed strong relationships within the forensic community as well as strong problem-solving skills by helping to identify unknown substances in cases and by synthesizing analytical reference standards as a chemist. As an experienced leader and manager, I have the knowledge in organic chemistry to lead my team appropriately as well as the proven capability in coordination, prioritization, and tracking of multiple projects. I have efficiently met the high standards that law enforcement needs, met challenging deadlines, and have improved processes. I am an expert in public speaking and presenting and have attended numerous conferences and workshops discussing, sharing, and teaching on novel psychoactive substances, GC-MS fragmentation, and organic chemistry. I am confident that my knowledge, leadership, communication, and organization skills will enrich my ability as an effective project manager. To further my knowledge, I have obtained my CAPM certificate from the PMI Institute. I believe deeply in inspiring, coaching, mentoring, and motivating my employees, giving them the tools, they need to succeed and guide them where I can towards their own goals.
