As the lab manager, I wear many hats, but my core mission is always to empower our team.  I serve as the vital link between our lab and the University, handling everything from administrative tasks and procurement hurdles to ensuring rigorous safety standards, collaborating with human resources, and troubleshooting IT issues. My dedication lies in keeping our lab operations running seamlessly and championing a positive team spirit to foster a collaborative atmosphere. My ultimate reward is cultivating a lab culture where every individual feels empowered, valued, and inspired to contribute their unique talents towards our collective success.
