I work at the intersection of quantitative science and drug development decisions. As a biostatistician by training and a drug developer by practice, I’ve led teams and partnered across functions to shape evidence strategies across study phases, modalities, and therapeutic areas, including cardio-renal-metabolic, oncology, neurology, hematology, ophthalmology, and rare disease.
My focus is helping teams turn data into decision-ready evidence, aligning trial design, endpoints, analysis, and interpretation with the real questions that clinicians, regulators, and patients need answered. I’m especially interested in how we communicate uncertainty responsibly, how we use real-world data well and avoid using it poorly, and how we build development programs that are both rigorous and practical.
My path into biostatistics started early. As an undergraduate, learning about the bootstrap left me completely flummoxed, in the best way. The idea that resampled data could produce reliable insight felt almost too clever to be true, and it hooked me on the challenge of making uncertainty usable. Along the way, studying abroad in Ukraine broadened my perspective, and later working in South Africa on HIV and tuberculosis control reinforced for me the real-world stakes of doing careful, practical science.
Professionally, I’ve had the chance to take on roles ranging from disease area lead statistician in ophthalmology to global program biostatistics leadership for gene therapy programs. These experiences shaped how I think about evidence strategy at the program level across complex development settings. I’ve also been part of an FDA submission team for Syfovre, which gave me a firsthand appreciation for how challenging it can be to bring a first-ever indication to market in a fast-paced environment where rigor, speed, and cross-functional coordination all matter at once.
Part of my job is people management and collaborative learning, and I care a lot about mentorship and people development. I had fantastic mentors who helped me in my journey, and it’s tremendously satisfying to pay some of that forward.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading and writing poetry, rock climbing, and yoga.
