About

I am currently a researcher in training in the studies of science, technology and innovations, with a focus in emerging and disruptive technological change in biotech, medicine, and biomedical informatics. I have strong analytical, problem-solving and quantitative skills acquired through 8+years of diverse work experience in biomedical research, economic research, start-up turnaround, and business development. I have proven success in rescuing and rebuilding a start-up, creating a new market niche and business model in emerging markets, cultivating collaborative relationships with scientists, entrepreneurs and business partners to accelerate introduction of innovative cancer therapeutics to the market. My recent contributions include improving the quality improvement initiatives in a managed care organization in one of the most impoverished regions in the U.S. I am passionate about research, innovation and entrepreneurship and enjoy the process of turning an idea into a business. My personal interest involves helping young people achieve their dreams through science and engineering education, technological and social innovations, and entrepreneurship.
