My Story

I am a Scientist and Sr. Director of Oncology Global Clinical Science with 30 years in the pharmaceutical industry. My experience includes molecular, chemistry, biochemistry, & virology laboratory studies; quality assurance in pharmaceutical manufacturing; and cancer clinical research with a focus on leadership, program management, talent management, inspection readiness, & process excellence.

I am also an author.

Growing up surrounded by my compassionate mother’s vast book collection and my father’s simplistically raw yet deep perspective on life, I began reading at a very young age and dedicated a significant portion of my childhood and adult life trying to understand why we’re all here. My quest for answers resulted in a large collection of books on physics, philosophy, science, art, and spirituality, which led me to acquire a different perspective on the curve balls that life has thrown my way.

I wrote "REFLECT" as a result of being stuck. Instead of ignoring my problems, assigning false rationalizations, or launching into attack mode, I found myself looking at things from a different angle - without blame or judgment. By digging a little deeper to understand the problems in my life, I found my way through the murky dark waters. If you're looking to find more peace in your life and take your power back, the book REFLECT is for you!
