The important thing is not to stop questioning.” This quote is attributed to Albert Einstein and while Jessica has serious doubts that he actually wrote this (email her to discuss further), the words still resonate with her. Jessica is a philosopher at heart, who found a way to make a living problem-solving and pursuing cutting-edge science and technology in the laboratory automation field.
Jessica spent 10 years enabling the drug discovery work at a large pharmaceutical company and later at a biotech integration company prior to joining Retisoft in 2016. She understands the automation needs of customers can range from the simple to the highly complex and she sees a world of theoretical possibilities where processes can be improved upon and solutions can become a reality. Jessica enjoys making new connections so feel free to email her at jessicad@retisoft.ca to chat.
