Statement of Expertise  Throughout my educational and professional career, I have obtained extensive experience in the  development, optimization and validation of analytical methods for botanicals, natural products  and dietary supplements. I have performed and supervised single laboratory and collaborative  validation studies analytical methods including methods for the analysis of Aloe Vera, Ginseng,  Echinacea, Cranberry, Goldenseal, Turmeric and Kombucha, with several of the methods I have  worked on being published and accepted as first action OMA by AOAC. With my strong  background and experience in analytical chemistry and statistics I have a thorough understanding  of the requirements to review and evaluate method performance characteristics. Additionally, my  pharmacognosy training has given a solid foundation in natural products chemistry and the issues  associated with analysis of complex sample matrixes.  Sr. Staff Review
