What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster collaboration, innovation, and growth in the biotech sector.

I am an experienced Project Manager with a proven track record in managing R&D projects, external collaborations, and cross-functional teams within the biotech and pharmaceutical sectors. My data-driven decision-making skills enable me to analyze complex datasets, optimize workflows, and present insights to stakeholders, driving strategic partnerships effectively.

During my tenure at Personalis, I successfully managed internal and collaborative R&D projects for biopharma clients, securing millions in revenue through strategic project execution and effective client communication. I adapted company tools to streamline data organization and analysis, significantly improving efficiency and accuracy for external partnerships. My role involved organizing and processing over 20,000 clinical samples, ensuring compliance and optimizing data retrieval for collaborative projects.

My academic background in computational biology and oncology-related research has equipped me with the expertise to apply machine learning applications for biological data. I developed a machine learning model for cellular differentiation during my graduate studies, showcasing my ability to translate scientific research into actionable insights. I am adept at presenting complex data to stakeholders, utilizing visualization techniques to facilitate data-driven investment and partnership decisions.
