As of April 2026, I am a graduate student at North Carolina State University and a full-time Engineer on the Process Validation and Business Strategy team at Amgen. In my current role, I support process validation and PPQ activities that are important to commercial product site readiness and regulatory licensure, and I am also involved in aspects of start-up site strategy. I earned my B.S. in Bioprocessing Science, with a minor in Biomanufacturing, from NC State in May 2025, where I completed extensive coursework through BTEC, and I will complete my Professional Science Master’s in Microbial Biotechnology, with a concentration in Biomanufacturing, in May 2026.

My background combines technical biopharmaceutical manufacturing experience with business and strategic training. Through industry roles, biotech consulting-style projects, MBA coursework within my professional science master’s program, and applied training in biomanufacturing, I have developed experience evaluating scientific and operational challenges from both technical and business perspectives. This combination has strengthened my interest in the intersection of biotechnology, manufacturing, commercialization, and strategic decision-making.

I am motivated by opportunities to contribute to the successful launch and long-term growth of innovative therapies, whether through technical execution, cross-functional problem-solving, or strategy that supports scalable and effective operations.
