What I'm looking for

I seek roles leading qualitative research in life sciences or clinical trials that value rigorous methods, stakeholder engagement, cross-team collaboration, and opportunities to influence patient-centered outcomes.

I am a qualitative researcher with nearly a decade of experience leading research in life sciences, clinical trials, and public health. I design and conduct qualitative studies, moderate interviews and focus groups, and translate complex insights into actionable strategies to improve health equity and patient outcomes.

I have led multi-country projects, authored 15+ reports/conference materials and co-authored 10+ publications, supported business development and grant funding, and supervised teams to deliver rigorous qualitative work for pharmaceutical and clinical partners.
