Summary

Curious, adaptable, and driven quality and manufacturing professional with hands-on experience across clinical manufacturing, quality control, and drug substance operations at Moderna. Known for managing complex workflows independently, supporting facility transitions, and contributing to cross-functional projects in GMP environments. Recently earned an M.S. In Pharmaceutical Sciences, I am reinforcing a passion for learning and elevating how I approach scientific and operational challenges. Comfortable in ambiguity, and always seeking to understand problems deeply enough to improve them.
