United States - Houston, Texas

I have a passion for translating science into medicines. I believe the best mechanism to get new and innovative drugs to patients is through biopharma. To that end, I am a scientist entrepreneur and have successfully taken a project I initiated into a fully-formed venture backed biotech company.

I have a background in equity research and familiarity with sell-side, buy-side analysis. This, coupled with my hands on the bench have driven my passion of turning ideas into companies. I now have experience recruiting talented scientists to co-develop new IP, incorporating, licensing said technology, and raising funds while managing the day to day operations of a startup. While these experiences are important for my personal career, the chance to bring new medicines to underserved patient populations is core to my drive.
