Summary

As a Biotech recruitment leader, I am driven to match top Scientific laboratory to leadership-level talent with the best Biotech and Lifesciences teams in the biotech hubs of Boston, North Carolina, San Francisco, and other hotbeds around the U.S.. I am adept at managing and mentoring peers and reports on how to find the best biotech talents forour clients. This enables our clients to hire innovative talents that discover and develop transformative treatments that ultimately impact patients in meaningful ways. Which is a very rewarding part of my job.

My recruiting approach is marked in the ability to match technical qualifications with unique personality traits, resulting in long-lasting candidate tenures. With over a decade of experience, my team's have successfully filled over 200 Biotech search assignments, and I am widely recognized as a trusted leader in recruiting for a variety of scientific disciplines including: Discovery Biology, Chemistry, Computational Biology, Immunology, Pharmacology, Toxicology, Translational Biology, Preclinical Development, Process Development, Manufacturing, CMC, Program Management, Clinical, and Regulatory roles from Lab to Leadership levels of the reporting structure.

Driven by a passion for helping our clients build invaluable teams I believe that helping patients is the ultimate goal at the end of the day.

Outside of work I am a dedicated philanthropist, raising awareness and funding for research on critical diseases such as Chron's & UC, Parkinson's, Cystic Fibrosis, Epilepsy, and Cancer.
