Digital Work

Documentation at BioAgilytix

During my time as a Corporate Compliance Archivist and Archive Manager at BioAgilytix, I created, implemented, revised, and maintained three unique Standard Operating Procedures and eleven forms. These documents governed the records management program at the Boston site. I also supported the Durham site by writing language for archiving raw electronic instrument data for use in their instrument SOPs.
