Commercial strategy and product development professional translating life science insights into go-to-market value.
What I'm looking for
I’m a commercially driven life sciences professional with experience in market intelligence and commercialization across biotech, healthcare, and clinical innovation. I translate complex scientific and clinical insights into actionable business strategy, product positioning, and go-to-market execution. I’m known for data-informed decision making and for helping cross-functional teams align on what matters most for growth.
As a Product Strategy & Market Intelligence Intern at BlueGene Match, I analyze the clinical trial recruitment ecosystem across patients, sponsors, and research sites to identify unmet needs and guide early-stage product direction. I build executive dashboards and strategic materials to improve pipeline visibility, and I lead interviews with clinicians and key stakeholders to validate assumptions and refine roadmap priorities.
Previously, as a Junior Account Manager at TriMkt Inc., I drove client engagement and revenue-generating initiatives, contributing to $7M+ in growth across enterprise partnerships. I translate market feedback and performance data into practical insights that shape territory and team decisions, and I develop onboarding materials and sales playbooks to strengthen consistency in client engagement.
My foundation is grounded in regulated, patient-focused science and real-world execution: I worked as a Medical Laboratory Technician in Duke University Hospital’s Clinical Microbiology lab and trained new technicians on quality standards and workflow efficiency. Through graduate consulting (including Gilead and Novonesis) and public health consulting work with Medstar Health, I assess emerging biotech opportunities, build product positioning, and support implementation roadmaps—always combining technical understanding with clear commercial value.
