I am a Certified Medical Technologist with over 30 years of experience in hospital, research, and physician office laboratories. Trained as a generalist with specialized training in Microbiology, I transitioned from the clinical laboratory in 2012 to work as a technical consultant for a global in-vitro diagnostics company focused on infectious disease testing. I began my role as an Epic Beaker Analyst at FirstHealth in 2018 and earned my Bugsy certification in 2019. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Wake Forest University and a certification in Medical Technology from the Allied Health Division of Duke University School of Medicine.
