Being able to bridge complex concepts from biology, engineering, medicine and physics to develop innovative strategies that solve problems for the pharmaceutical industry is what excites me. I am scientific curiosity-driven with expertise in advanced biomimetic tissue engineering. While my actions are data informed, I can make pragmatic judgements based on practical thinking and previous experience. I am a passionate entrepreneurial leader with expertise in development of 3D tissue models to accelerate drug development grounded in the ability to think strategically, creatively and apply multidisciplinary approaches.
I thrive in creating a team environment where failing-fast and pivoting quickly fosters greater learning and broader experiences. I am a risk taker energized by challenges to achieve what hasn’t been done before and my approach to solving problems is collaborative and methodical. I take responsibility for influencing and motivating others to contribute to the success of the solution while creating a culture of high trust, inclusion and diversity of opinion. My passion is evident in everything that I do, and I am energized by coming up with new ideas and original solutions to tough problems
