About

Medical Science Liaison with 4+ years of field medical experience supporting medical affairs strategy across immune-mediated, rare, and advanced organ diseases including solid organ transplantation, advanced lung disease, and transplant nephrology.

My experience includes leading KOL engagement, supporting advisory boards and clinical research, leading congress activities, developing patient models using transplant databases and statistical analysis, and delivering field insights and competitive intelligence to inform strategy and execution. Prior to industry, I spent six years as a transplant clinical pharmacist specialist in large academic health systems, serving as lead lung transplant pharmacist and working extensively in cardiothoracic transplantation and transplant nephrology. I am board-certified in pharmacotherapy and solid organ transplantation. I also hold an MBA, strengthening my capabilities in strategic execution, cross-functional leadership, and evidence-driven decision-making.
