Katie Devries

Quality Assurance Engineer

WHO ARE YOU?

I graduated UMR with a Chemical Engineering degree with a biochemical emphasis. While there, I met my husband Alex, who also works for ESC. When we started our family, I took a break from full-time work to be home with our 2 daughters, who are miniature copies of each of us. My happy place is with my family. I love to volunteer at the girls' school, go on hikes, spend time in the garden, and listen to audiobooks.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

Now that our daughters are in school every day, I've taken on a part-time role here at ESC providing quality assurance for our Biopharmaceutical clients. I focus on (and enjoy) writing technical documents, creating SOPs, reviewing customer specifications and vendor quotes, and applying code standards to create a final documentation turnover package to meet our clients' needs. Translation: I make sure you have all the right paperwork when the auditors come knocking.

FAVORITE ESC MOMENT?

My favorite ESC moments have been at the Christmas parties and company picnics where I've really gotten to visit with everyone. I feel fortunate to be a part of such a generous, family-centered business!
