Designed and standardized a lab research protocol to eliminate procedural variation and improve data integrity for reproductive toxicology research.
Hybrid. Structured planning with room for iterative adjustment.
Project Lead start to close. Directed the team, managed procurement, owned all workstreams.
Charter & Approvals
Protocol Development
Execution & Training
Analysis, Closure & Handoff
Inconsistent lab results pointed to a clear root cause: no standardized process. I assessed the gap, built the business case, and secured institutional sponsorship.
A project charter review locked in scope, authority, and success criteria before any resources were committed.
Planning kept three parallel workstreams on track from start to finish.
Defined scope, authority, and success criteria. Signed off by institutional sponsor.
Three workstreams: protocol development, experimental validation, and training.
Data quality and equipment availability flagged as top risks, with mitigation plans documented.
Formal authorization secured before any resources were committed.
I directed a 9-person team and external consultants through execution, keeping deliverables on track in a live research environment.
Assigned responsibilities, tracked dependencies, and kept parallel workstreams moving without bottlenecks.
Coordinated with consultants to produce formal SOPs for all critical lab processes. Consistent, repeatable, and audit-ready.
Sourced specialized materials and managed vendor relationships to protect the schedule.
Ran structured training sessions to standardize execution across the team.
Tracked process adherence and output quality throughout, both measured against the planning baseline.
A quality issue mid-project triggered formal change control. Affected steps were revised, tested, and locked in. The schedule held.
Closure followed a structured process: protocol verification, dataset finalization, a lessons-learned session, and documentation archiving. The project finished on schedule with a clean handoff to data analysis and thesis development.
Standardizing collection reduced variation between operators. Results are now comparable across runs.
Two research disciplines unified into one validated framework. The lab can take on more complex studies.
Documented SOPs and training materials give the lab a repeatable foundation for ongoing and future research.
Created the groundwork for a subsequent researcher's project, with full documentation and clean handoff.
Full ownership from charter through closure, covering all five PMI process groups in a hybrid delivery environment.
Led all five PMI process groups as sole project lead.
Built WBS, risk register, resource plan, and schedule from scratch.
Tracked baseline, identified variance, and executed corrective actions without losing schedule ground.
Directed a 9-person team and external consultants. Kept all stakeholders aligned.
Ran structured closure. All documentation archived and handed off cleanly.
