What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue building compliant, evidence-based medical strategy—translating emerging science into narratives, education, and positioning while partnering cross-functionally and ensuring fair balance and scientific integrity.

I’m a physician and medical affairs professional with 15+ years of experience translating complex clinical science into clear, compelling narratives that shape medical strategy and brand positioning. With deep therapeutic familiarity across oncology, hematology, immunology, dermatology, and OB/GYN, I’ve built my expertise across NCI-designated and leading academic centers including Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, Weill Cornell Medicine, and Montefiore/Einstein.

Across my roles, I provide scientific direction across promotional and strategic materials—synthesizing biomarker, trial, and real-world evidence into evidence-based positioning, disease-state education, and competitive landscape insight. I partner across creative, account, and strategy teams, moderate scientific discussion, and build trusted relationships with KOLs while maintaining strong FDA/OIG/HIPAA scientific-accuracy and fair-balance standards.
