At Monod Bio, Inc., I manage the full lifecycle of up to 15 concurrent R&D projects, using project governance and risk mitigation to keep scope and deliverables visible. I created project templates and an intake process that helped reduce project timelines by 10%.

I also optimize order processing and fulfillment workflows, tracking and reporting more than 200 shipments per quarter. I supervise and train six direct reports, and introduced change management protocols that improved team efficiency by 20%.

Earlier, at the Institute of Protein Design – Baker Lab, I supported more than 400 research projects through operational planning, tracking, and risk management. Across my research operations roles, I’ve also contributed to procurement, vendor relationships, reporting, and compliance documentation.
