About

I spend too much time in traffic jams, fight with laptops that can’t keep up with my click speed, and occasionally drop my phone in places it doesn’t belong. 🚗💻📱 Luckily, my actual job is much more rewarding: as an Account Manager at Meso Scale Discovery, I support scientists with innovative instruments that help turn complex questions into clear answers. 🔬✨ I enjoy being the bridge between great technology and the people who make science happen — and I’m always happy to connect with others who share a passion for discovery (and maybe a sense of humor, too). 🗣
