Role and Areas of Expertise
As a Senior Analyst at Nuvera Life Science Consulting, I support biopharma clients in solving strategic and operational challenges across the product lifecycle to improve patient access, adherence, and continuity throughout their treatment experience.
My areas of expertise include patient support programs, operating model and service design, patient journey mapping, launch strategy and readiness, primary scientific and market research, competitive landscape assessment, and cross-functional stakeholder engagement.
Short Professional Summary
I am a biomedical engineer and life sciences consultant with experience spanning biopharma strategy, scientific diligence, drug development research, and medical device innovation. In my current role at Nuvera, I work across multiple biopharma engagements to help clients design patient support programs, develop operating models and patient journeys, and prepare for upcoming product launches.
Prior to joining Nuvera, I worked with The Marcus Foundation’s Medical Research Awards Program. I collaborated closely with the CMO and Program Director to evaluate emerging, first-in-field therapeutic programs across several disease indications (oncology, regenerative medicine, neurodevelopmental disorders, and pediatrics) for potential funding to de-risk the science into the clinical stage.
Education and Credentials
I graduated with Highest Honors from Georgia Tech in Biomedical Engineering (Bachelor’s) and am currently pursuing my Master’s (also in Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech).
My engineering education has provided me with a strong scientific and quantitative foundation, which complements my work in life sciences consulting, and allows me to approach business challenges with both a technical and strategic perspective.
Notable Achievements or Projects
At my previous role, I supported the diligence on a first-in-field project for stem-cell regeneration of cardiomyocytes (cardiac cells) post myocardial infarction (heart attack). Following the trajectory of this project has been very enlightening and I cannot wait to see how this therapy helps millions of patients with cardiovascular diseases!
In college, one of the experiences I am most proud of was developing a segmented compression therapy device designed to address a real patient adherence challenge with my senior design team. Through multiple design iterations and patient and clinician interviews, our team reduced garment donning force by approximately 70% and donning time by 21%. We also developed an integrated 3D scanning solution for custom fitting and ultimately earned an Honorable Mention among more than 100 engineering teams!
What are you passionate about at work?
I am passionate about the fact that the work I’m doing has tangible impacts on patients’ lives and my contributions allow them to access, adhere to, and most importantly, maintain their therapeutic treatment. Throughout school and my professional career, my biggest driver has been ensuring that what I do has a positive impact on those I am trying to help, so seeing it come to life through my work has been an incredibly rewarding experience!
A Personal Snapshot
Outside of work I enjoy hot yoga, reading, traveling, exploring the city (just moved!), hiking, and baking. I also just started fostering a cat!
