Make sure you advocate for your care; make sure you advocate for your loved ones' care. And have a relationship with your doctor where you can talk through the different options.

I learned the importance of listening to yourself, to your body, and trusting your intuition — no one knows you better than you do.

Overall, my study experiences were positive ones, and I look forward to participating again ... in clinical research.

I especially enjoy connecting directly with customers — hearing their challenges firsthand and then working with our internal teams to strategize solutions that make a meaningful impact.

Rather than waiting for patients to find a trial, we can proactively identify candidates who are genuinely likely to be eligible, before they've ever raised their hand.

Innovation is about trying new things, stepping outside of what you’ve always done before, knowing that you might fail, and not being afraid of that.

I knew I needed to be in this industry, because there’s so much valuable work we can do to smooth patients’ access to therapies and help companies bring critical therapies to market.

I work with some of the smartest people in the industry, and I learn from them every day.

Almost every study these days has such a unique patient population that recruitment needs to be tackled as if it is a rare disease study.

I’m driven by the opportunity to stop disease before it spreads — using evidence to protect not just individuals, but populations.

Working as an epidemiologist at Norstella, I realized that while I wasn’t treating patients directly, I was preventing disease — protecting thousands, even millions. What I once hoped to do for individuals, I was now able to do at scale, which drives my passion for this field.

I strive to be — a professional who learns, contributes, and creates a better world for the next generation.
