Article: A Validation Engineer's perspective: A Technical Perspective on women's liberation through
the Pill.
Article: A Change in the US Food and Drug Administration Opinion on Process Validation: What has
Changed? Comparison.
Objective:
To earn a position as a chemical engineer, validation engineer, or any position that utilizes my
knowledge!
Important Note:
In 2007, I divorced, moved to Oregon, visited family, and attempted to gain entrance into a
pharmacy program during the economic downturn. Although a competitive candidate, I did not
matriculate. As such, I am excited about reentering industry or research. As you will see, I now have
a degree in Biological Sciences that compliments my Chemical Engineering degree.
