Doubly board-certified as both a Diplomate in Forensic Toxicology by the American Board of Forensic Toxicologists and as a Toxicological Chemist by the National Registry of Certified Chemists. I actively practice forensic toxicology in Rhode Island and am adjunct professor of biology.

I have conducted comprehensive analytical testing of over 5000 cases related to DUI, DUID, and death investigations with instrumental techniques including ELISA, HSGC-FID, Co-Oximetry, GC/MS, LC/MS/MS, all in an accredited laboratory setting. Additionally, I have experience with laboratory management, analytical method development and have successfully qualified as an expert witness and provided courtroom testimony.

Additionally, I joined the Community College of Rhode Island as an adjunct biology professor in 2014. This experience has uniquely positioned me to provide insight into highly complex concepts in a tangible manner for a wide array of demographics.
