## About

```text
Through Independent Consulting, I advise biotech and CRO leadership on where AI and digital methods add value in bioanalytical and clinical development workflows. My go/no-go recommendations across 10+ GenAI programs helped clients avoid ~$500K in low-value spend, and I redesigned a CRO client's LIMS data flow and delivery operations to cut sponsor escalations ~40%.

At Precision for Medicine, I delivered regulatory-ready clinical biomarker data for five oncology and immunotherapy programs with zero audit findings. Earlier, at Eutropics Pharmaceuticals, I developed a patient-stratification strategy that shortened leadership decision time ~30%; at Revi LifeSciences, I advised on scope, KPIs, and budget frameworks for a $10M+ federally funded program. I'm completing a Health Sector MBA at Boston University, Questrom School of Business.
