About

Client Relationship Manager for a biotechnology company with a multidisciplinary background including molecular biology, genetic analysis, bio-manufacturing, and quality assurance for research-grade and GMP facilities. I have developed my technical, laboratory, and business knowledge through a Master of Science focused on Biotechnology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I plan to combine this knowledge to pursue and change the way medicine is practiced. My main interest is the human genome, cell therapy, and all gene-editing platforms.

Goals and interests

Career goal

My career path is to become an oncology surgeon and researcher that performs cutting edge and experimental procedures such as Car-T therapies and more. The field of oncology is on the verge of discovery and breakthrough as more scientific journals are published. Cancer is linked to certain tumor suppressor genes being turned on and off, therefore the progression of cancer is dependent on your genetic makeup. Thus, the field needs more oncology experts to provide new personalized medicine that traditional medicine can not do.
