Palm Bay, Florida, United States
I began my professional journey as a research scientist, joining a team testing a new diagnostic instrument during an FDA clinical trial. I quickly proved my technical skills, moving from data entry to hands-on testing. Midway through the trial, I stepped into the lead scientist role. Managing both the lab work and the coordination of deliverables with the sponsor-client. This experience gave me early exposure to project leadership, cross-functional communication, and decision-making under pressure. After successfully bringing the trial to completion and seeing the instrument approved for hospital use, I made the leap from lab work to entrepreneurship. Driven by a desire for creative freedom and global exploration, I founded The Traveling Path, a media company that blended storytelling with sustainable living. Through this venture, I taught myself photography, videography, content editing, and brand strategy. I built campaigns around conscious travel and sustainability. Documenting our efforts to eliminate plastic use and reduce waste. This evolved into collaborations with eco-conscious businesses across Mexico, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand, where I led marketing and brand alignment projects that highlighted their environmental values. Today, I draw on both my scientific and entrepreneurial background to work at the intersection of operations, sustainability, and strategy. I'm passionate about helping companies operate more efficiently, communicate more effectively, and reduce waste—whether that’s in manufacturing, supply chains, or messaging. I’m currently pursuing roles that align with my passion for sustainable systems and operational excellence, particularly in sectors like aerospace and advanced manufacturing. I bring with me a strong foundation in quality systems, cross-functional leadership, and a track record of adapting quickly and delivering results in dynamic environments. Let’s connect if you’re building something meaningful and need someone who can bridge technical work with big-picture execution.
