"Quality assurance in my work really starts with taking the time to review my data three times and reference it back to my research. To maintain consistency for myself, three times is a great number I learned from a mentor early in my career. I've found this method helps make my work as error free as possible because at times on very large projects, the second and third runs through often find me catching small errors that were overlooked."
