Bio

I am a board-certified toxicologist in the pharmaceutical industry, specializing in both small molecules and cellular therapies. In my role as a project toxicologist, I have developed and implemented nonclinical strategies that assess the safety and efficacy of drug candidates, ensuring they meet rigorous scientific and regulatory standards.

I have served as a subject matter expert on project teams, led efforts in study monitoring, report review and data interpretation, managed key relationships with Contract Research Organizations (CROs), and ensured GLP compliance across toxicology studies. Additionally, I have played a critical role in authoring regulatory documents.

Outside of my core work, I am deeply engaged with the American College of Toxicology, where I am cochair on the Social Media Subcommittee. I also find fulfillment in guest lecturing and participating in outreach initiatives, inspiring the next generation of scientists.
