About
For over 15 years, I have partnered with clinicians, researchers, and academic leaders to address unmet needs, expand access to biomedical research, and strengthen the pipeline of scientific talent. At Duke University and UNC-Chapel Hill, I developed and led cross-functional training programs that increased engagement by 240% and funding by 81%. I have delivered over 100 workshops and classes on scientific communication, disease-focused research, and regulatory requirements, refining my ability to distill complex clinical and health economic information for diverse audiences.
Beyond academia, my long-standing volunteer work with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network has kept me closely connected to patient perspectives, clinical research advocacy, and competitive environment monitoring. My recent training in Clinical Trial Design, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and Regulatory Affairs strengthens my ability to assess investigator-initiated trial opportunities, evaluate potential collaborations, and support clinical execution. I thrive in dynamic environments, work effectively in a self-directed capacity, and consistently align internal strategies with external stakeholder needs.
