Team Lead that manages a group of scientists and responsible for planning, supervising, and reporting a full range of environmental chemistry studies to meet regulatory requirements and to provide high quality data for study sponsors. Work typically includes analytical support for crop, water, and soil residue studies.

Supervised staff performing analytical methods development, validations, sample formulations, and characterization efforts involving the analysis of chemicals in matrices for federal and industrial clients in compliance with GLP and GMP regulations. Responsible for preparing budgets, proposals, protocols, technical study designs and SOPs; technically evaluating, interpreting, and approving results; and preparing reports. Tracked progress throughout the study. • Responsive to clients to provide weekly updates and to determine their needs • Accomplished all tasks and milestones on-schedule and within budget in a fast-paced, quick turnaround, environment• Supervised 50+ FDA-GLP projects for the National Toxicology Program (NTP) involving dose formulation development studies, preliminary chemistry studies, chemical handling, chemical procurement, and shipping• Prepared dose formulations in different matrices including feed, drinking water, and gavage vehicles used in toxicology studies • Improved a feed formulation method from 6 hours to 1.5 hours• Supervised FDA-GMP projects for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) program for formulated drug products in characterization and stability studies• Supervised 120+ EPA-GLP product chemistry studies to support registration of agricultural products using Product Properties Test Guidelines, Series 830, Group A and Group B studies• Directed product chemistry studies following international guidelines • Investigated and identified equivalent, and state-side available, HPLC columns• Principal Investigator for a confidential intelligence client program demonstrating organizational skills, attention to detail, and leadership abilities to coordinate a team and assign tasks at headquarters and off-site locations• Immersion into a new field of process development produced results allowing client to make informed project decisions

• Developed analytical methods for the separation and analysis of peptides, amino acids, neurotransmitters, and estrogens for bioanalytical and clinical applications • Produced microfluidic systems to decrease analysis time and to increase precision and accuracy compared to conventional separation (CE) systems• Systems constructed using microfabrication utilizing photolithography techniques
