PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Currently consulting for Biohaven Pharmaceuticals in the Nonclinical Optimization and Development group in Toxicology Operations. Served as a Supervisor/Manager/Coordinator at Charles River Labs and previously served as a Scientist in Discovery Toxicology at Bristol Myers Squibb, performing, and coordinating in vivo exploratory/investigative toxicology studies in large and small animals. Operating in a highly matrixed group for the advancement of early preclinical large and small molecule entities. A definite benefit to your organization, would be to apply over 30 years in the Pharmaceutical Industry serving in a variety of technical roles in preclinical GLP and non-GLP in vivo toxicology studies as well as serving in an administrative role as project coordinator/manager and study director on preclinical safety studies. Included in this vast experience is having worked in other therapeutic areas/biology groups and in the medical/surgical device arena. Deriving personal satisfaction from participating as a well-rounded team player who can forge cohesive, collaborative interactions as well as work in an independent setting in a fast-paced environment. Focal attributes are excelling at and seeing challenging projects to completion as well as learning and implementing new techniques in a timely fashion. Hopefully these qualifying attributes and experiences can potentially fulfill and excel in providing for the needs for this position and the organization by providing an invaluable resource derived from time spent in the large pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry. Many opportunities and new experiences would be provided by and envisioned through the advancement in an evolving skill set in this position within your organization.
