 Performed quantitative metals analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) on
beverage, concentrate, and ingredient samples. Used microwave digestion as needed for complex
matrices.
 Performed quantitative Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) of volatiles in beverage,
concentrate and ingredient samples. Experienced with direct-injection, headspace, solid phase micro-
extraction (SPME), purge and trap methods.
 Developed multiple quantitative ICP-MS and GC-MS analytical methods for trace analyses in complex
matrices. Effectively maintained all instrumentation used and successfully performed troubleshooting
when problems arose.
 Assisted with the management of group budget and financial tracking.
