  • Jan 2015 - Jan 2018

  As a Licensed Clinical Chemist, I helped Start up, Validate, Maintain Toxicology labs in Southern California. I continuously would work with lab owners to improve methods and consult making sure CLIA Guidelines are followed and labs stay in compliance. I was available onsite and offsite (hybrid) and On-call as a Technical/General Supervisor (CA Licensed Clinical Chemist). I would participate in Inspections for the labs I was given oversight responsibilities. My team included Lab Owners/Directors/CLSs/Managers/Supervisors/Other Lab Consultants/Assistants. I also helped maintain smooth TAT from pre-analytical to post-analytical steps to meet 24-72 hours for drug panels that included >100 analytes in a single method and run time. I worked with Shimadzu LCMS/MS-8030/8040/8050/8060 and Agilent/Sciex LCMS/MS systems with advanced data analysis software systems (Insight/Mass Hunter/Multiquant). I also worked with many different LIS Systems (LABDAQ/Orchard Harvest/Schuylab/Labgen). In the process, I always worked to help the team and systems in place to find better ways to improve TAT and quality value-added steps to streamline workflows and implement Lean Six Sigma tools.
