Tes­ti­mo­ni­als for Glo­ria A. Rood

As Pres­i­dent of Upsher-Smith Lab­o­ra­to­ries I worked with Glo­ria Rood for 5 years. Dur­ing that period I observed her work prod­uct on a reg­u­lar basis. Gloria’s work was always of the high­est qual­ity whether she worked as a team leader, a team mem­ber or while work­ing with out­side con­trac­tors. Dur­ing our time together I found Glo­ria to be dili­gent, col­le­gial and very con­scien­cious. She works well with min­i­mal over­sight and writes first class sci­en­tific reports.
Given the oppor­tu­nity I would not hes­i­tate to hire Glo­ria in any capac­ity involv­ing for­mu­la­tion, process devel­op­ment and/or sci­en­tific writ­ing. Writ­ten:  March 3, 2011

man­aged Glo­ria indi­rectly at Upsher-Smith Laboratories

I worked closely with Glo­ria dur­ing her time at Upsher-Smith as Sr. Phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal Devel­op­ment Sci­en­tist. Glo­ria rep­re­sented the R&D arm of a cus­tomer for sev­eral prod­uct launches. Aggres­sive time­lines were the norm for the prod­uct launches and it was extremely help­ful to have such a knowl­edge­able and ded­i­cated team mem­ber to help drive to the fin­ish line. Glo­ria went beyond her role as R&D Sci­en­tist on the project team, sup­port­ing not only for­mu­la­tion devel­op­ment, scale-up and com­mer­cial­iza­tion but also ana­lyt­i­cal and val­i­da­tion activ­i­ties. I would rec­om­mend Glo­ria for any job or endeavor. Writ­ten:  Feb­ru­ary 25, 2011
