Profile Summary

Research operations and data professional with 8 years of experience coordinating complex, cross-functionalworkflows in regulated scientific environments. Track record of managing data releases, QC/QA processes, compliance documentation, and multi-stakeholder deliverables at NIH and in biotech. Outside the lab and the federal contract world, I serve as Board Chair and Administrator of a Boulder-area 501(c)(3) nonprofit — an experience that has sharpened my instincts for governance, operations under constraint, and building something that actually works. I bring process discipline, genuine versatility, and the kind of follow-through that makes organizations run better.
