Scientific Consulting

With over 25 years of experience in biotech, I am a proven leader and subject matter expert in several disciplines of the industry. My biotech career has been primarily focused on Pharmacovigilance (PV) however I have held several senior roles in Clinical Operations, Clinical Development, and Program Management. I have worked across many companies, large and small, spanning multiple therapeutic areas including neurology, oncology, cardiology, and rare diseases with an emphasis on gene therapy and gene editing technologies. I am proficient in all areas of PV, including both pre and post market support. My medical training and experience as an intensive care/trauma nurse combined with my advanced degrees in epidemiology and biostatistics creates a unique foundation to support any PV department.
