I am a strategic operations leader who specializes in managing complex facility launches, capital projects, and cross-functional teams in healthcare and life sciences environments. I excel at translating organizational vision into executable plans, overseeing multi-million-dollar budgets and specialized facilities while ensuring regulatory compliance and operational excellence. My work spans the full lifecycle of facility operations—from strategic planning and resource optimization relying on team leadership and stakeholder engagement through to project completion.
Throughout my career, I've demonstrated a strong commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety, compliance, and operational efficiency.
I have over 10 years of progressive leadership experience managing laboratory and facility operations in pharmaceutical and biomedical research settings.
Sciences, I led strategic planning and implementation for a 25,000 sq ft specialized pharmaceutical facility, managing multi-million-dollar budgets, optimizing vendor contracts, and directing cross-functional teams across Operations, R&D, Quality, and EHS. Previously at the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, you project-managed the launch of a new laboratory facility supporting critical HIV/AIDS research, coordinating equipment procurement, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder engagement. Earlier in your career at UCSF, you successfully scaled laboratory operations through a period of 100% staff growth while formalizing procedures and improving operational efficiency.
Throughout these roles, you've consistently delivered complex projects on time and within budget while maintaining regulatory compliance and advancing organizational missions.
I hold a Master of Science in Epidemiology from the University of Iowa (2011), where I conducted research on health disparities in diverse populations including a capstone project in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. I earned your Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Grinnell College (2007), and later completed a Certificate in Project Management from Simon Fraser University (2019). This combination of scientific training, public health expertise, and formal project management education provides a strong foundation for work in operations and facility management.
