Working as a Technical Consultant and serving as the Director of CLIA Compliance with DoctorsManagement has been the greatest joy of my career. The experience I gained while working in the different laboratory environments mentioned previously created the unique set of skills and knowledge base I draw on daily while performing in my current role. The best part of my job is working one on one with clients and seeing their love for the laboratory grow.
