Profile Summary

With a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Illinois Chicago and a Master’s degree in Biotechnology, I have a strong foundation in scientific research and analysis. Currently, I serve as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Northwestern University, where I actively engage in Neuro-inflammation and neurodegenerative research, lead inter-disciplinary collaborations with labs in Dermatology, Pulmonology and Neurology. My professional experience includes mentoring students (PhDs, undergrads, high-school students), publishing scientific manuscripts, and presenting research at international conferences to wide range of scientific and non-scientific audiences. I have also held leadership roles such as Vice President-Outreach at the Advanced Degree Consulting Alliance and Strategy-Technology Sourcing Lead at Nucleate. In these roles, I have organized events, conducted market analysis for diseases, performed due diligence on patents and products, and developed strategies for new product launches. I am passionate about applying my expertise in neuroscience, pharmacology, and biotechnology, along with strong leadership and collaboration skills, to support scientific initiatives, lead cross-functional teams, and drive innovative solutions across healthcare and nonprofit sectors.
