I am a seasoned expert in Chemistry, Pharmacology, and Toxicology with advanced academic training, including a PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology and a Master’s degree in Chemistry. My work integrates drug chemistry, analytical testing, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and toxicological mechanisms to evaluate how substances behave in the body and how they may influence cognition, behavior, impairment, and adverse outcomes. I have extensive experience in both antemortem and postmortem forensic cases, including impairment and intoxication assessments, interpretation of controlled substances, evaluation of drug–drug interactions, timing of exposure, and cause- and manner-related toxicology questions. My analyses place toxicology results into appropriate clinical and scientific context rather than relying on concentration values alone. I routinely interpret blood, urine, and postmortem laboratory data generated by GC-MS and LC-MS/MS, assessing parent drugs and metabolites, analytical validity, detection limits, and the strengths and limitations of toxicology testing. I evaluate both traditional and novel or designer substances. For established drugs, I assess known pharmacology, metabolism, and dose–effect relationships; for emerging compounds, I evaluate chemical structure, metabolic pathways, receptor activity, and available scientific literature to determine likely effects and risks when standardized reference data are limited. I have been retained and qualified as an expert in multiple jurisdictions, providing independent opinions through reports, consultation, deposition support, and testimony. I am recognized for translating complex chemical and pharmacological concepts into clear explanations that are readily understood by attorneys, judges, and juries.
