Bio
Marcus Curl
Elizabeth was an incredible manager and mentor when I worked at KGI. She helped me to learn lab techniques as well as the importance of the scientific foundation behind my work. Elizabeth taught me through a very hands-on approach which was especially helpful for me. She has a strong ability to tailor her approach to working with others as she had different management styles for each individual working in the lab. I highly recommend Elizabeth to any team, especially those with highly technical and diverse scientific focuses.

Liz is an absolute joy to work with, her attention to detail and passion for doing things the right way have made her an invaluable asset to this company. She is always looking for better ways to get the job done, and is always helping others around her to do the same. The care and attention she puts into her work is what makes her the best she can be at what ever is placed before her.
