What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration while allowing me to leverage my biochemistry expertise.

I am a passionate Senior Manager and Team Leader with a strong background in biochemistry and a proven track record of delivering exceptional outcomes. My leadership has resulted in approximately $16 million in savings across multiple products, including antibiotics and steroids, generated from genetically engineered strains. I thrive in cross-functional teams and am dedicated to supporting the API product lifecycle from ideation to implementation.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Manager at Pfizer Inc., where I act as a Process Tech Transfer Subject Matter Expert (SME) for key products. My role involves supporting the manufacturing site for COVID mRNA vaccine quality control and contributing to regulatory document filings for antibiotic processes. I have also led brainstorming sessions and managed a team of over 10 direct reports, focusing on career development and performance improvement.

Throughout my career, I have developed excellent relationships with external vendors and have been a key scientific contributor in various projects, including co-designing a greener bile acids product pathway. My commitment to team engagement and project execution has been recognized through multiple awards, reflecting my dedication to fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.
