Curious across disciplines.
Committed to impact.

My work connects the detail of pharmaceutical research with the human realities of patient access and the strategic perspective of product management.

From analyzing drug stability and supporting pharmacy patients to representing brands in the field and leading community initiatives, I’m drawn to complex problems that require both rigor and empathy.
