About

I'm driven by a simple yet profound belief: the right talent can transform not just companies, but entire industries. As a clinician turned informatics leader turned life sciences recruiter, I sit at a rare intersection: someone who has administered the medications, used the technologies, and led the teams that life sciences companies exist to support. ๐—ช๐—ต๐˜† ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€? From medical device breakthroughs to biopharma and digital health solutions, this industry has the power to save lives. My career spans pediatric critical care, nursing informatics, software product development, and team building across clinical, quality, and technical functions. I've sat in the rooms where your products are used, led the teams that implemented your technologies, and built the programs that your innovations made possible. That lived experience is what I bring to every search. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ผ ๐—”๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜? We're not just another recruiting firm.
