I am QA Specialist/Interim Supervisor on the Wednesday through Saturday QA On the Floor Team. I started at BMS four years ago when it was still Juno Therapeutics. I was drawn to Juno/BMS because of how close our facility is to patient care. Each product we release to market is a treatment for a patient. I love the schedule and people at this site. In my current role I am a deviation triage facilitator and enjoy guiding groups through our quality system while getting processes back on track. I’ve been in biotech for 10 years, working in R&D, Manufacturing, and Quality. I have two Masters degrees one in Organic chemistry and Molecular Biology
