Scientist, Molecular Genetics |
I've worked on molecular genetics since 1991 and still consider myself first and foremost a scientist. I have a B.S. in Genetics and a Ph.D. also in Genetics. To this day reading scientific journals and keeping up with the latest advancements in a wide range of scientific disciplines is part of my life. |

Quality Assurance professional |
Ever since I started doing research I made sure that my work was performed following the most stringent quality standards. When I moved to the bitoech industry, it was no surprise that I became a natural QA professional. Now I have over 2 and a half years of QA experience in the biotechnology industry, with dozens of successful audits under my belt. I have experience with the following regulations: GLP, GMP, AABB, ISO 9001:17025, NYS DOH, and Texas DPS. I have also written hundreds of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and multiple qualification documents (IQ/OQ/PQ). |

Business professional |
After I finished my Ph.D. in Genetics I came to the conclusion that my scientific education had progressed as far as I could push it academically. As my career required more business knowledge, I pursued an M.B.A. in general business, which I finished in 2006. Now learning about business is one of my lifetime pursuits. |

Entrepreneur |
Between 2005 and 2006 I put together a new business for the company I was working for then. As a result of this experience I decided to go into business by myself. My first company, Mouse Genotype, was created in 2006. Now I can't help but spend time identifying new business opportunities and pursuing related ventures, including the founding of QA Assist in 2008 and Rat Genotype in 2010. |

Fundraiser |
Raising money for important causes is something that I have always been involved in. As my career continues to flourish, I try to at least partially show my gratitude by giving back to those that are not as lucky. |
