My Background
My journey in laboratory medicine began a little over 25 years ago. Over those years, I worked as a frontline staff in clinical chemistry and later spent majority of my career in transfusion medicine in various leadership roles. I have experience preparing healthcare systems for regulatory inspections (CAP, CLIA, FDA), as well as addressing staff competencies and other regulatory and compliance requirements. In addition, my experience as a travel MT/Supervisor across several states in the country, puts me at an advantage to truly access the needs or organizations in the areas listed in the services section.
