Who I Help

Testing Laboratories Consultant

Whether you are an experienced lab that needs additional help, or expertise to bring new testing online, refine current testing practices, or troubleshoot issues, OR you are a new laboratory that is just getting started, I want to help you meet your scientific goals.

Advisor for hemp growers, producers, processors & retailers

Trying to navigate the for-profit testing market can be difficult, regardless of your level of familiarity with scientific analysis. I am here to help you with everything from choosing and vetting a laboratory that meets your needs to interpreting testing results. I want to be the scientist that works for you to ensure you’re getting the most out of your testing experience.

As a consultant, I share my knowledge in analytical chemistry as an industry recognized expert of cannabis and hemp testing.
