I have over 19 years experience as a Quality practitioner. I have worked in clinical labs, pharmaceutical labs, research labs, and electronics labs. I also have journalism experience in college and during my military service. My quality journey started in the military and I’ve continued on that journey to the present day. I am a firm believer in quality and its potential to improve every and any process.
I founded the Seeds of Laboratory Quality Magazine due to the many quality projects I’ve undertaken throughout my career and wanting to share with other laboratorians and obtain constructive feedback. There have been many times I’ve looked for benchmarks and precedents to looming problems and could not find a resource that publishes the many process improvements that occur in laboratories daily around in the world. The Seeds of Laboratory Quality Magazine looks to fill that void. I hope you find it helpful and useful in our journey to optimize processes.
