I was originally trained as a medical technologist and worked as a laboratory scientist for 6 years before being promoted into management. A family move brought me to Charlotte in 1990 where I developed a well-respected, profitable business for Presbyterian Health Services.
I continued to broaden my experience at Premier, Inc., a group purchasing organization for hospitals, where I led consulting engagements focused on process improvement. This work led me to start a small firm to focus exclusively on the unique challenges and opportunities of medical laboratories.
In addition, I am certified in Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing Techniques.
Social/Volunteer Organizations
I enjoy volunteering through my church, where I also lead the instruction of confirmation for nine years.
