With a PhD in Immunology and hands-on experience in Medical Affairs at Alexion/AstraZeneca, I specialize in translating high-level scientific evidence into clear, actionable insights that drive clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes in rare diseases. My career sits at the intersection of rigorous science and strategic communication. Four years of doctoral research in immunology and antigen presentation gave me the scientific depth to engage credibly with leading experts. My current role at Alexion has given me the industry perspective to turn that depth into impact, managing networks of 50+ KOLs, leading medical education initiatives, and ensuring scientific content meets the highest regulatory and compliance standards. What distinguishes my profile is the combination of both sides of the evidence: I have generated it, and I know how to communicate it. That dual perspective informs how I engage with healthcare professionals, build scientific narratives, and connect clinical data to meaningful therapeutic outcomes.
