About

With 28+ years in the pharmaceutical industry, I am an accomplished oncology therapeutic specialist with a proven track record of driving product adoption, building strong partnerships with healthcare providers, and improving patient access to innovative therapies. My experience spans cardiovascular, virology, and oncology, where I have successfully supported multiple product launches, including immunotherapies and targeted therapies. I currently focus on advancing treatment options for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) and GEP-NET. Known for my collaborative approach, I work closely with cross-functional matrix teams, oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, and advanced practice providers to support optimal patient care and ensure the safe and effective use of complex oncology therapies. I am passionate about translating clinical data into meaningful insights that help healthcare teams make informed treatment decisions. I am also a strong advocate for health equity in oncology. As a co-leader of the PAN (PBRG) Global Health Equity Team, I collaborate with partners such as Gryt Health on the Diversity in Oncology platform, helping amplify the voices and lived experiences of underserved patients in cancer care and clinical trials. Throughout my career, I have been recognized with multiple awards for sales performance, leadership, and commitment to inclusion and patient advocacy. I am also passionate about mentorship and have contributed to brand strategy, patient education initiatives, advocacy programs, and innovative technologies that support the oncology community. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, cycling, golfing with friends, and discovering great food and wine—experiences that keep me curious, balanced, and energized.
