What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a GMP project-management role where I can combine scientific expertise with client-facing collaboration, rigorous risk/timeline/budget delivery, and cross-functional coordination across clinical and commercial programs.

I’m a Project Manager in the sterile GMP drug product space, leading end-to-end manufacturing projects for clinical and commercial programs. I’m focused on delivering against scope, timelines, and budget while keeping cross-functional execution tightly aligned.

In my current role at Thermo Fisher Scientific, I coordinate cross-functional teams and manage client and internal/external stakeholder relationships. I proactively identify project risks, maintain continuous monitoring, and provide structured reporting to support confident decisions throughout the program lifecycle.

Previously as a Business Support Scientist in the mRNA business unit, I acted as a key scientific and operational interface for pharmaceutical clients across early development and program activities. I supported business development by contributing to opportunity definition and feasibility assessment, and by shaping technical proposals and scope definitions for fill-finish manufacturing projects.

My foundation is strongly scientific, with research roles including an Immuno-Oncology Research Fellow position and a Molecular Oncology and Genomic Screening Research Fellow role. I investigated RNA-binding proteins and tumor–immune interactions using molecular and cellular approaches and performed bioinformatic and computational analysis of gene expression data, which strengthened my ability to translate complex information into clear, effective messages.
