Who I Help
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.
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.
