Some Background

I’m a scientist and engineer who is passionate about bringing innovation and big ideas to biological research. I have more than a decade of experience in the Life Sciences industry and my expertise is in antibody technology.

Currently, I focus on strategic commercial partnerships and out-licensing as a Business Development Manager for Abcam, PLC. Previously, I was a Key Account Manager for Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. focused on advancing strategic Biopharma relationships.

Additionally, I’ve consulted for an artificial intelligence/health technology start-up backed by the Berkeley SkyDeck Accelerator and UCSF Lean Launchpad.

I volunteer weekly at BUILD Oakland to mentor and support high school students in under-resourced communities as they launch their own businesses.  I teach BUILD students the fundamentals of business and critical skills to help them prepare for college and plan for their careers.

I’ve also worked in three bioengineering laboratories specializing in cell and tissue engineering, biophotonics, and biomedical devices. I have an extensive background in engineering design and led an engineering team that created medical products for hospitals in Tanzania under the organization Engineering World Health.

My work has been recognized by organizations such as the Clinton Global Initiative, National Science Foundation, and National Institutes of Health.
