What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities to apply my hybrid scientific and analytical background in a role offering growth, impact, and innovation. I thrive in environments where i’m allowed to solve problems creatively and develop strategic decisions as part of a team. I have good leadership skills and would appreciate the opportunity to mentor colleagues.

I hold a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry with a strong interest in science communication, health and education. Always driven by an analytical mindset, i’m an expert at strategic development. I enjoy engaging with diverse audiences to explain complex topics and develop trust in science and data driven decisions.

I have a multinational background and speak 5 languages. Which combined with my experience in scientific research, academic publishing and the pharmaceutical industry makes for a unique set of skills that can bridge and connect diverse audiences.

As a lifelong learner i’m adaptable, curious and love a challenge. Lately i’ve been delving into the world of business data analysis and visualisation by learning SQL, Python and PowerBI.

I’m interested in positions that will allow me to use my skills, and grow with the role.
