Founder

With over two decades of experience in clinical laboratory leadership, I offer specialized consulting services that bridge scientific knowledge with practical solutions. I believe humanity is inherent to laboratory medicine. I integrate my personal experience and anecdotal evidence in a relatable way and keep public health and practicality at the forefront of my educational endeavors.

Education & Certification

  • Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Emory University 

  • Completed postgraduate training at ARUP Laboratories/University of Utah

  •  Board-certified in Clinical Chemistry by an HHS-approved accrediting organization 

  • General ASCP(MLS) license

Career

My career has included leadership roles such as Scientific Director of Chemistry at Kaiser Permanente and Associate Director of Chemistry at the University of Washington Medical Center. Most recently, I served as the Associate Laboratory Director at LetsGetChecked, where I helped design innovative laboratory solutions to support telehealth medical services.

Through my work with these organizations and others, I have extensive experience navigating the complex regulatory landscape that governs laboratory medicine, with a mature familiarity of the CLIA licensing, College of American Pathologists (CAP) or comparable accreditation, and FDA 510(k) regulatory pathways. I utilize this expertise to help clinical laboratories and healthcare organizations remain compliant with evolving regulatory requirements, ensuring that they can deliver accurate, high-quality diagnostic services while mitigating risk and maintaining operational efficiency.

Academic Experience

Since 2014 I have been a faculty member in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of Washington where I currently serve as a Clinical Professor. During my tenure, I’ve published over 135 peer-reviewed articles that span a wide range of critical aspects related to Laboratory Medicine. Many of these publications focus on improving healthcare outcomes for underserved populations, particularly in the areas of transgender and gender-diverse healthcare, home-based testing, and analytical advancements in clinical laboratory science.

Scientific Writing

I am enthusiastic about communicating complex concepts to diverse audiences. Whether engaging with academic peers, healthcare professionals, or the public, I am passionate about making scientific knowledge accessible and impactful.
