What I'm looking for

I’m seeking high-impact strategic roles where I can apply my project and operations experience, leadership capabilities, and broad domain exposure.

At Avril Biopharma Inc., I support the CEO and contribute to scientific initiatives for a biopharma CDMO focused on vaccine manufacturing, structural genetics, and AI-driven applications. I collaborated with the Structural Genetics team on Variant Hunter, documenting the AI-assisted platform and designing its architecture and usability flowcharts.

I co-authored grant proposals, including work that helped secure €675,000 in GIZ funding for an mpox vaccine program, and organized the FAIS 2024 hybrid immunology conference in Benin. Previously, I launched Samaritan HRM and established the PMO at Samaritan Technologies; at FabLearner, I developed SOPs for program delivery and performance tracking.
