Federal clinical laboratory work across microbiology and molecular biology, with routine PCR diagnostics, women's health testing, serology, and Genexus-based DNA/RNA sequencing.

• PCR diagnostics for CT/NG, C. diff, norovirus, trichomonas, MRSA, SARS-CoV-2, and related targets
• Hologic Panther real-time qPCR workflows for BV, CV, TV, and high-risk HPV
• Reflex serology and viral-load workflows spanning syphilis, HAV, HBV, HCV, and HIV

Validation-minded R&D leadership for high-throughput SARS-CoV-2 testing, workflow documentation, and cross-functional assay development support.

• Wrote protocols, SOPs, and workflow documents for validation and verification across multiple laboratories
• Supported saliva-based high-throughput diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2
• Coordinated with research, regulatory, and quality teams around business and assay objectives

Founding-stage CLIA startup work under pandemic pressure, combining assay development, team leadership, training, regulatory writing, and extraction-free high-throughput RT-qPCR systems.

• Helped lead testing through the Delta and Omicron waves, supporting more than 500,000 Coloradans
• Built one-step qPCR assays and methods for COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 variants, influenza A/B, and STI targets
• Contributed to FDA EUA documentation, 510(k) support, robotics-enabled workflows, and zero-file-transfer cloud testing operations

Small-hospital generalist practice covering broad bench work, patient-facing testing logistics, rural COVID response, and independent workflow ownership.

• Performed routine and STAT testing across blood bank, coagulation, hematology, point of care, urinalysis, chemistry, serology, molecular diagnostics, and microbiology
• Created patient-care workflow for a community coronavirus testing program and independently operated a satellite collection/testing clinic
• Handled phlebotomy, specimen processing, assay validation, technical documentation, and physician-facing communication in a rural hospital environment

Clinical molecular pathology and genomics work centered on hybridization-capture and amplicon NGS, qPCR, assay development, manuscript support, and real molecular oncology operations.

• Supported Illumina HiSeq, MiSeq, and NovaSeq clinical sequencing workflows in molecular oncology
• Worked across conventional PCR, qPCR, Sanger sequencing, melt-curve analysis, capillary electrophoresis, genotyping, microarrays, and microdissection of FFPE tissue
• Contributed to assay development, documentation, validation, manuscript writing, conference presentation support, SOPs, and technologist training
