About Ella Schweizer

I am a driven undergraduate student at the University of Miami pursuing a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry and molecular biology with minors in finance, health management and policy, and chemistry. My academic and professional interests center on the intersection of innovation, strategy, and impact, particularly within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare industries.Through my interdisciplinary studies, I have developed a strong foundation in scientific reasoning, data-driven problem-solving, and an understanding of how research and innovation translate into real-world healthcare outcomes. My coursework has strengthened my ability to analyze complex scientific and clinical information while also considering the regulatory, operational, and market factors that shape the healthcare landscape.Beyond the classroom, I serve as a consulting analyst with Amino Health Group, a pro-bono healthcare consulting organization, where I contribute to projects focused on improving care delivery, operational efficiency, and strategic decision-making. I also work as a research assistant in Dr. Leblanc’s laboratory, contributing to research on cancer drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier, an experience that has reinforced my attention to detail, collaboration, and appreciation for rigorous scientific processes.Previously, I interned at DICOM Director, a healthcare startup, where I conducted market research to identify new customer segments and supported business development initiatives. This internship further strengthened my interest in healthcare strategy and operations. In addition, my leadership roles as a Dean’s Ambassador for the College of Arts and Sciences and Orientation Fellow have helped me develop strong communication, teamwork, and organizational skills.I am motivated by opportunities that allow me to bridge science with strategy and communication, and I am actively seeking internships and experiences within pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, sales, and healthcare consulting. I am eager to learn from industry professionals and contribute to impactful, patient-centered innovation.
