What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in biotech industry

I am a passionate biotechnologist deeply committed to harnessing biology's potential to solve global challenges. Throughout my career, I have gained expertise in R&D, business strategy development, market analysis, fundraising for a MedTech start-up, and project management. My academic journey includes a B.Sc. in Microbiology, a Master's in Biotechnology, and an MSc. in Business of Biotechnology. My professional background spans various roles as a research associate, business development/strategy consultant, science communicator, content writer and designer.

I have taken customer service roles in the retail, hospitality, and food industries. My experience in understanding customers has equipped me to foster relationships and build trust. Working with a wide range of clients improved my client retention skills.

I founded ScienceZoned, a pursuit to demystify complex scientific jargon through visual storytelling. Leveraging my science communication expertise, I've developed a platform that enhances public engagement through science doodles. In the future, this endeavour will not only foster understanding of complex science topics but also nurture a curious community to delve into the wonders of science and art.
