Favorite professional work experience
Working on a product launch of an ultra-orphan drug in a not well-known disease space. The challenges are different for ultra-orphan diseases and potential products, but it’s very gratifying to help in such a space

My industry passion
Helping patients, caregivers, & advocates have their voices heard and get access to the care they need, especially in women’s health!
Best early career advice received
“Imagination is more important than knowledge” Albert Einstein. There was a poster of this at my very first job and I looked at it every day. Thinking creatively has gotten me much farther than industry knowledge alone
My Vynamic color
Deep Amethyst – I’m drawn to rich colors, and purple has always been a favorite of mine. My birthday also happens to be in February, and my birthstone is amethyst
