My background in clinical research, pharmacotherapy, and regulatory science helps me support early-stage ventures, particularly in healthcare, biotech, and tech-enabled solutions.While healthcare is my starting point, my curiosity and generalist mindset drive me to explore and support innovations across sectors; especially those aiming to solve meaningful problems and improve lives on a global scale.Feel free to connect if you\'re a founder, investor, or innovator committed to driving meaningful change and building a better future.
