Katie Gray
Laboratory Technician
Port Orchard, Washington, United States
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolKatie Gray is a laboratory technician and MS chemistry student with eight years of hands-on experience in analytical chemistry and wastewater-based epidemiology, specializing in detecting community drug consumption. She has developed and optimized LC-MS/MS methods for quantifying opioids and other illicit substances, including workflows for extraction and troubleshooting variable retention times. Her roles span government, industry, and academia—from Washington State Department of Ecology to Arzeda and university research positions—bringing a balance of regulatory lab practice and method development. Katie pairs strong attention to detail (bank reconciliations and pivot-table reporting) with practical lab leadership, having trained protocols for sensitive analytes like fentanyl. Based in Port Orchard, WA, she blends analytical rigor with community-focused public health research, and is completing an MS in Chemistry to deepen her impact on environmental monitoring. An earlier project even applied image-analysis algorithms to SEM ice-crystal surfaces, reflecting interdisciplinary curiosity and data-driven problem solving.
