Neuroscience @ University of Pittsburgh | Healthcare Strategy & Consulting
I'm working on bridging the gap between cutting edge science and strategic business decisions in healthcare. With hands-on experience in biotech research, clinical environments, and leadership roles, I've developed a unique lens for solving complex problems at the intersection of science and strategy. What I bring: 1. Deep scientific literacy with proven ability to distill complex research into actionable insights 2. Clinical and research experience in high pressure, fast moving environments 3. Strategic thinking honed through real world healthcare challenges 4. Leadership experience managing teams and projects under tight deadlines Focus areas: Healthcare innovation, digital health transformation, life sciences strategy, and emerging biotech opportunities. How I can help: 1. Healthcare market research and competitive intelligence 2. Strategic analysis and deck development for healthcare startups 3. Scientific due diligence and technical translation 4. Early-stage strategy development for life sciences ventures Originally pre-med, I pivoted to focus on the strategic side of healthcare after recognizing my passion for solving systemic challenges in the industry. I thrive on projects where scientific rigor meets business strategy whether that's evaluating new therapeutic approaches, analyzing market opportunities, or helping startups navigate the complex healthcare landscape. Ready to tackle your next healthcare strategy challenge with curiosity, precision, and results-driven execution.
