Whether guiding a surgical robot through regulatory approval or managing aerospace ORM and situational awareness, the core principle remains identical: impeccable quality governance under strict operational constraints.
With a background spanning MedTech Quality & Regulatory Affairs, Aerospace Education, and Business Strategy (Harvard Certification/MBA), I help organizations navigate complex regulatory landscapes, build resilient engineering processes, improve patient outcomes, and inspire the next generation of space explorers.

Operating in an ever-changing environment has enabled me to solve complex, multi-faceted problems; to build trust among crossfunctional audiences; and to continually find better ways of doing things, often drawing anologies from seemingly diverse subject areas. Rather than focusing on the “obvious”, I look to underlying causes to develop effective solutions.
If you have a problem that you think I may be able to help with or you just want to get in touch, please contact me!
