Vice President of Economic Development, Greater Spokane Incorporated

Richard Giersch

President and Executive Director, Life Science Washington Institute

VMRD did have success with the viral transport media! We have a few new products that we’re working on, but none under the FDA umbrella. If we delve into that market again or other new territories, we will happily reach out to you. I appreciate the great assistance with all the FDA/medical device questions/help we needed!

Shelly Howenstine

VP of Quality, VMRD, Inc.

Katrina Rogers utilized her expertise in strategic planning to work with our team and community stakeholders to develop a strategic goal statement and core directional choices in connecting K-12 student candidates with the biomed/tech industries in career launch opportunities. This process resulted in a clearly defined map providing guidance for focusing our efforts over the next 2 years. Through these efforts, stakeholders have been identified as well as core directional strategies determined for each stakeholder audience. Katrina’s process includes important aspects of assessment and improvements as we work to create a positive feedback loop with our stakeholders.

Barbara Berglund

COO, CMC Turnkey Solutions

Katrina Rogers is an outstanding technical director for DMPK. I have worked with her over the last 6 years and during that time have been privileged to see her make the transition from being a top-notch manager to a very effective and influential technical director. She has established herself as an important member of our Pharmacology technical directors’ team over this last year through her conscientious efforts. Utilizing her understanding of Operations, Katrina has expanded her role as technical director to include a more global view of our Customers’ overall needs. This has greatly empowered her to proactively seek out solutions for her Clients and colleagues. Katrina has also taken her commitment to great Customer Services to a new level of understanding as she seeks to provide both innovative and strategic solutions for both her clients as well as for MDS Pharma Services. We need more people like Katrina who can come up with the “Win-Win” solutions!

Katrina is extremely detail-oriented and has very strong work ethics. She is a great scientist and a very fair manager.
