Some Background

I’m a scientist and engineer who is passionate about bringing innovation and big ideas to biological research. I have 14 years experience in the Life Sciences industry and my expertise is in antibody technology.

Currently, I focus on strategic commercial partnerships and out-licensing for biopharma, proteomics, and spatial biology as a Business Development Manager for Abcam, Inc. 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’ve volunteered as a mentor for under-resourced high school students in Oakland through BUILD, teaching essential business principles and life skills to facilitate their successful transition to college and future 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.
